Arch Linux User Repository

For some reason, some commits are now signed with SSH signature instead of PGP signature. I don't know how to make makepkg work with that. The last commit signed with PGP is c801b3b807d249bc24ab826e2754191f5f58cd1b, so use that one, or skip signature check AT YOUR OWN RISK.

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
gpg: key A31B6BD72486CFD6: public key "Josh Boyer <jwboyer@fedoraproject.org>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1

seted as obsolete : missing dependancy : rdfind Need to find a way to avoid the use of --skippgpcheck

just a quick question is the latest gsp stuff downloadable if I use this like this stuff https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=f4a3c72e5c413a601d1e21f9606f1c94a610d05d

Looks like the problem with signatures is that the main branch is not being signed (anymore - was it ever? I don't know). Only tags are signed

Oh, well... https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg4521808.html

Oh, that explains it. Thanks for the info. I disabled the check for now and went with the newest version. Of course, as you said, at my own risk. I am also not aware on how to handle SSH signatures in PKGBUILDs, sorry :/

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.

error: failed to download sources for 'linux-firmware-git-20230814.0e048b06-1': 

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:
