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

Repository URL
This package is hosted at sos!git. If you want to contribute to the package, you can do it here: https://git.staropensource.de/JeremyStarTM/aur-linux-clear

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.

@metak so, everything seems be 'ok', nothing appears when I was compiling, none error, the only thing that differs the linux-headers builded from aur (my cached headers from build 19917744) is the size from that one on your repo (19404108). The log build says that installing headers, but when I tried install something for example, whit dkms, says "Your kernel headers for kernel 4.19.2-2-clear cannot be found" so I have to install manually or from my cache or from your binary. (I don't know if it matters but I'm using yay)

Edit: I think this is not related to the package itself, but look what @iwfinger said on this issue that I opened on github:

"Your kernel headers and the compiler version MUST match exactly. "SMP mod_unload" is not the same as "SMP preempt mod_unload". I have never seen this problem as most of my kernels are self-generated, which sidesteps this problem. I'm not sure how to fix it."

You can check on this link: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu/issues/270

Do you have idea what can I do?

metak commented on 2018-11-20 19:28 (UTC)

@ltsdw Sorry for late reply. I couldn't reproduce your issue. The package builds fine on my machine and in clean chroot. You'll have to provide more details. Build logs etc.
Have you compared the headers package from my repo with your built binary for differences to make sure your built package is okay?

ltsdw commented on 2018-11-20 19:06 (UTC)

And every module that I tried install I get something like this for example:

[ 2725.823458] 8188eu: version magic '4.19.2-2-clear SMP mod_unload ' should be '4.19.2-2-clear SMP preempt mod_unload '

ltsdw commented on 2018-11-20 18:20 (UTC) (edited on 2018-11-20 18:22 (UTC) by ltsdw)

Getting this every time I compile:

Error! echo
Your kernel headers for kernel 4.19.2-2-clear cannot be found at
/usr/lib/modules/4.19.2-2-clear/build or /usr/lib/modules/4.19.2-2-clear/source.

Always have to install the linux-clear-headers binary from your repo.

ltsdw commented on 2018-11-14 20:58 (UTC)

I tried recompile again and still doesn't installing headers for me, so I installed the binary one from your repo.

@enihcam I've added the provides wireguard module and I've also enabled the XZ compressed modules to further reduce the size. From roughly ~77 MiB installed size down to ~26 Mib.

enihcam commented on 2018-11-03 12:18 (UTC) (edited on 2018-11-03 12:30 (UTC) by enihcam)

@metak, you need to add the following line into PKGBUILD: provides=('WIREGUARD-MODULE')

Otherwise, when you install wireguard-tools, wireguard-dkms would be installed as its dependency.

I have written a note at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WireGuard#Installation.

metak commented on 2018-10-17 10:14 (UTC)

@enihcam No need. Bison is in base-devel group and should already be installed. Official linux package also doesn't have it makedepends.

enihcam commented on 2018-10-17 06:22 (UTC)

not a big deal. bison is needed to compile the kernel, but it is not in makedepends.
