Upstream doesn't sign most commits anymore, so GPG signature check is disabled. They still sign every tag. Packages in the official repos package tags. You can check signatures with the following commands:

$ git log --format=raw --show-signature main
$ git tag -v $(git tag)

edit: found my problem the key server it could be useful for other people.

The default port is an high port and your ISP might filter it out!

use :80 in the ubuntu one and it should work:

pal ➜  ~  gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 4CDE8575E547BF835FE15807A31B6BD72486CFD6

I'm getting the following error on two of my machines. Is this a problem on my side? I tried importing the key of Josh Boyer as described here, it's installed on my system.

Okay, I found out how to use this on the newest commits.

First, go to prepare() and comment out these two lines:

patch -Np1 -i ../0001-Add-support-for-compressing-firmware-in-copy-firmware-modified.patch
patch -Np1 -i ../allow-inplace-rebuild.patch

Next, go to package_linux-firmware-git(), and find the line that says:

make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" FIRMWAREDIR=/usr/lib/firmware installcompress

Change installcompress to either install-xz, or install-zst. I recommend zst for obvious reasons.

Lastly, if you choose install-zst, go down to package_linux-firmware-marvell-git(). Find the line that says:

rm "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/firmware/mrvl/prestera/mvsw_prestera_fw_arm64-v4.1.img.xz

Change it to:

rm "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/firmware/mrvl/prestera/mvsw_prestera_fw_arm64-v4.1.img.zst

There you go.

The copy-firmware.sh has been updated and the patches don't work anymore and without the patches the package_linux-firmware-git() make compression process breaks in someway that's beyond me:

==> Starting prepare()...

I found this error today:

==> Iniciando prepare()...
patching file Makefile
Hunk #1 succeeded at 11 with fuzz 2.
patching file copy-firmware.sh
Hunk #3 FAILED at 37.
1 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file copy-firmware.sh.rej
==> ERROR: Se produjo un fallo en prepare().

What can I do?

Thanks in advance. Regards.

@retromuz this is a VCS package, to get newer version just rebuild it, makepkg should build package with newest version available.

I got to know that https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/ has been updated to include new firmware files for AX200 and others. I (and many others) were having bluetooth issues and had to get stuck with 20201218.646f159-1 to get rid of these issues. Can you please merge changes until fa0efeff4894e36b9c3964376f2c99fae101d147?
