Converted all tabs to spaces, due to popular demand and bumped to latest LTS. However, this is the last update I'm doing; with the apparent death of TuxOnIce, the -pf-lts variant has no reason to exist. Please, consider switching to linux-pf or linux-ck. If anybody wants it, I'll orphan it.

Indentation of the PKGBUILD is a mess. i.e. a mixture of tabulators and space. Make it uniform (best: avoid tabulators, use spaces).

Well... 3.14 reached EOL, long live 4.4-PF-LTS.

I intend to keep linux-pf-lts at version 3.14, as it is still one of the official kernel.org's LTS kernels (and it works flawlessly in all my boxes). I won't update to 3.18-LTS or 4.1-LTS unless 3.14 reaches End-Of-Life or I find time and appetite (very unlikely). Please also note that the pf-patchset maintainer doesn't really follow any LTS line but the latest stable.

Therefore, please don't flag it as out-of-date. However, if anybody wants to take over the maintenance of linux-pf-lts and keep it at the most recent upstream LTS, I will gladly orphan it and create a new linux-pf-lts314 or something.

I really don't know :-)

Seriously now, I diligently copy the linux-lts config over to linux-pf-lts in every update and only tweak-in the BFS, TuxOnIce and BFQ options. If CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT is active in linux-lts then it was left out by mistake.

However, I no longer have time to follow every single patchlevel update of LTS kernels; that's the reason I've implemented a "trick" in PKGBUILD to let people update the package on their own (see _patchlevel). When I get the time, I'll sync versions and configs. Thanks for the feedback!

Why the config doesn't have `CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT=y` configuration?

I'm still getting a compile error, even with the linux-lts gcc5 patch:
LD [M] drivers/staging/rtl8187se/r8187se.o
drivers/staging/rtl8187se/r8180_wx.o: In function `ieee80211_increment_scans':

please add this patch

The repo is updated to 3.14.43. However, to build closed modules such as nvidia, catalyst or virtualbox, people with gcc!=4.9 would need to export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1 before running dkms or mkinitcpio.

I confirmed it.
LD [M] drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/obdclass/obdclass.o
scripts/Makefile.build:455: recipe for target 'drivers/staging' failed
make[1]: *** [drivers/staging] Error 2
Makefile:843: recipe for target 'drivers' failed
make: *** [drivers] Error 2


It also fails at patchlevel 3.14.43, which means that the maintainer of obdclass hasn't yet updated his/her code for gcc5. For the time being I'll downgrade my build box to 4.9 and populate [pfkernel] with 3.14.43...
