Effective on 6.18 release date, this project will be retired and no longer maintained. Due to upstream being perfectly usable, having all the patches and the extras in this kernel not resulting in a significant performance improvement, I have made the decision to sundown the project. This will free up some resources on my end and make more time for other things.

I recommend switching to either the upstream kernel or one of the other custom kernels like Zen.

This package will be flagged out of date soon.

Thanks to everyone for your support and for using the kernel.

The prebuilt kernel is built using Clang/LLVM.

The linux-nitrous binary package can be installed by adding following lines to your /etc/pacman.conf:

[linux-nitrous]
Server = https://github.com/xdevs23/linux-nitrous/releases/latest/download/

Then you can install the package using your AUR helper or pacman (e. g. sudo pacman -Syu linux-nitrous linux-nitrous-headers)

You probably need to add the keys before being able to install my packages:

sudo pacman-key --recv-keys E52F66792B423413EA5F8B3BBCAFC8F93FFA4C23
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key E52F66792B423413EA5F8B3BBCAFC8F93FFA4C23

@dedguy21 this repository (and its PKGBUILD) are used to build the binaries found in my custom repository

I do not intend to enable the used modules config by default as that is not what would resemble the binaries provided in my custom repository. I could try making it do that by checking for an environment variable in the PKGBUILD but I won't be doing it by default. The other thing is that I want the kernel to be able to build and run on pretty much any system that has a compatible CPU, regardless of the remaining hardware.

I think he means like they do in other Linux builds in AuR (this is from linux-ck for example only:

**" Compile ONLY used modules to VASTLYreduce the number of modules built

and the build time.
To keep track of which modules are needed for your specific system/hardware,
give module_db script a try: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/modprobed-db
This PKGBUILD read the database kept if it exists
More at this wiki page ---> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Modprobed-db

_localmodcfg=

IMPORTANT: Do no edit below this line unless you know what you're doing

* Somewhere down the pkgbuil***

### Optionally load needed modules for the make localmodconfig # See https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/modprobed-db if [ -n "$_localmodcfg" ]; then if [ -f $HOME/.config/modprobed.db ]; then echo "Running Steven Rostedt's make localmodconfig now" make LSMOD=$HOME/.config/modprobed.db localmodconfig else echo "No modprobed.db data found" exit fi fi

@soloturn I can figure out a way to do that.

What exactly do you need? Just that line?

I'm not familiar with what you are trying to do but if you tell me the line number you want to add that to, I could add a way for you to enable it.

would it be possible to change the PKGBUILD so it takes modprobd into account should it exist? am not to sure where i should put the make so it is valid when the next upgrade comes in.

make LSMOD=$HOME/.config/modprobed.db localmodconfig

@TheHardew thanks for pointing out, I'll add that in the next release.

Seems you need to add bison to dependencies? Failed in prepare() without it. Fine after manual installation.

superboringdev commented on 2020-04-15 21:10 (UTC)

pkgrel updated.

SpineEyE commented on 2020-04-15 21:08 (UTC)

Thanks, although you should update the pkgrel

superboringdev commented on 2020-04-15 18:48 (UTC)

It's fixed now.

superboringdev commented on 2020-04-15 17:42 (UTC)

@SpineEyE I will fix that, thanks for letting me know.
