The 'makedepends' for 'xmlto' 'docbook-xsl' can be removed. I modified the dvb config (since I disabled that subsystem) to add an if statement:
----------------
msg "Checking for DVB config to add to kernel headers"
if [ -d include/config/dvb/ ]; then
msg "DVB config found, adding to kernel headers"
mkdir -p "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/modules/${_kernver}/build/include/config/dvb/"
cp include/config/dvb/*.h "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/modules/${_kernver}/build/include/config/dvb/"
fi

Previous comments have been helpful in building this package successfully. In case anyone needs a how-to:

a)Open the PKGBUILD in your preferred editor.

b)Remove change-default-console-loglevel.patch from "source=" and its corresponding "md5sum=" entry. This patch is redundant as you now get to specify a loglevel during config.

c)Comment out the "add docbook makefile" part (lines 230-231), otherwise the build will fail at the end because the file is no longer in the tree.

I hope this helps you save time and avoid frustration.

It prints a lot of errors because of the redefined DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL (They actually fixed it upstream it seems)

# set DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL to 4 (same value as the 'quiet' kernel param)
# remove this when a Kconfig knob is made available by upstream

/*
* Default used to be hard-coded at 7, we're now allowing it to be set from
* kernel config.
*/
#define CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT CONFIG_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL_DEFAULT

extern int console_printk[];

#define console_loglevel (console_printk[0])
#define default_message_loglevel (console_printk[1])
#define minimum_console_loglevel (console_printk[2])
#define default_console_loglevel (console_printk[3])

So the K config exists and this patch is no longer needed.

Looks like the last revision of this package removed one line from the patch file without updating the @@ part.

@fpqc, i add you maintainer rights to the package %)

And i did try modify patch by your suggestion.

That's my modified change-default-console-loglevel. It builds with this but spits out tons of error messages you have to edit the patch to move it somewhere else.

@nefelim4ag you also need to fix the change-default-console-loglevel patch. It doesn't work right now.

@fpqc, you right, i forget to add file to source array.

@Nefelim4ag It looks like you forgot to include 99-linux.hook as a sourcefile.

Also, the patch of printk.h is failing.

@fpqc, done
