Information comment
This comment provides useful information about this package. Make sure to read it through, you won't regret it.

Issue handling
Please only submit issues in the package's repository if they aren't bug reports about the package or help requests. Please keep them to the AUR only. This prevents unnecessary signups.

Updates
I usually publish updates 0-3 days after a kernel release, depending on how busy I am.
If I however get wind of security-relevant updates or any vulnerabilities I will try to update the kernel as soon as possible and write a comment about the vulnerability/update. So make sure to subscribe to this package's comment mailing list.

PKGBUILD environment variable customization
The PKGBUILD file supports customization via environment variables. Here's a list of all of them:
- _makemenuconfig: Invokes make menuconfig (ncurses-based default configuration menu) before compilation starts
- _makenconfig: Invokes make nconfig (ncurses-based nicer configuration menu) before compilation starts
- _makexconfig: Invokes make xconfig (X11-based GUI configuration menu) before compilation starts
- _use_current: Will use the configuration of the running kernel, if the running kernel is compiled with IKCONFIG_PROC
- _optimize_defconfig: Applies package maintainer-picked configuration changes to your defconfig. Only takes effect with _use_current being enabled
- _copyfinalconfig: Copies the final kernel configuration into the repository root as kconfig-new before compilation starts
- _localmodcfg: Only compiles modules found in modprobed-db's database (which decreases compilation time and kernel size)
- _use_llvm_lto: Compiles the kernel with LLVM instead of GCC. Should work, if not open an issue
- _subarch: Specifies the subarchitecture to compile for (see the PKGBUILD file for a list of all subarches). Default is 41/MGENERIC_CPU (Generic x86-64), which is compatible with all amd64 processors. Must be a number or subarch name
- _subarch_microarch: Specifies the microarchitecture to compile for. Only applies to and is required by the MGENERIC_CPU subarch. Must be a number between 1 and 4 (click for more information)
- _debug: Force enables debug options when set to y, force disables debug options when set to n or uses the config defaults when unset

All of these variables just need to be set for them to apply, except for _subarch and _debug. For more information please check their documentation inside the PKGBUILD file

GPG errors
If makepkg complains about invalid PGP keys, try running this command first: gpg --locate-keys torvalds@kernel.org gregkh@kernel.org sashal@kernel.org benh@debian.org. This command only needs to be executed once.

Build tool
If you want a dead simple way to compile this package, you can try out my build tool. It includes a few no nonsense changes to the kernel configuration and allows you to configure the PKGBUILD file in a simple manner and decrease build time. And if you don't want that, using makepkg as-is works fine too.

Thank you vary much

@Morisson 5.3.11-3 (clr 5.3.11-868) enable ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE

Hi. Can you change kernel config from your reposotory? ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE=y I need add patched dsdt for my laptop. Please)

metak commented on 2019-11-08 16:48 (UTC)

@danhyal I'm afraid that's not possible and it kinda defeats the purpose of this package IMO. I already added two patches (cpu optimizations and acs overrides) because they're small and don't change the kernel in radical way. On the other hand -ck patches are much bigger, touch many more files, change a bunch of existing config options, etc. There could also be clashes between -ck and -clear patches... Besides, this kernel is already optimized for desktop/laptop users so I don't really see a point?

amelia commented on 2019-11-08 15:40 (UTC)

Could you make a seperate package with the ck patchset applied? Since most people using this kernel are desktop/laptop users, it would be useful.

@danhyal 5.3.8-4 (clr 5.3.7-853) enable CONFIG_NETFILTER_INGRESS

amelia commented on 2019-11-05 09:01 (UTC)

Could you add the config option CONFIG_NETFILTER_INGRESS

Ah I am running mkinicpio 26 not 27 I will update. Thanks.

_----------- Yes everything is working now.

Thanks again for your time.

metak commented on 2019-11-04 19:10 (UTC)

@dedguy21 I'm a bit confused as to what you want to achieve? You don't need to do 1) and 2). New version of mkinitcpio=27-1 includes hook and preset files so that not every kernel package has to provide them. Just build this package as any other or use the binaries provided in my repo.
