I'm happy to announce, that I've completely rewritten the whole package from scratch. Now it is more lightweight, faster and more robust. Issues such as the missing zc0301 directory should never happen again due to the much more robust kernel headers installing part. You can maintain the GIT tree yourself if desired. Take a look at the PKGBUILD for that purpose. The PKGBUILD is also capable of properly fixing broken GIT trees. (thanks to zxy_64 for the hint) It makes use of the separate output directory feature of the kernel Makefile. The source tree remains untouched and only the necessary parts are built. Thus multiple rebuilds should be much faster now. Additionally, the package no longer ships a default config. It is up to you to create one that fits your needs. A default was useless anyway since the kernel is designed to be user configured. When that "magic 200 lines patch" was released a lot of users wanted to try zen-kernel. Unfortunately all the clone requests have stressed the server a lot and as each clone request requires ~500MB of RAM, the GIT daemon crashed when handling multiple requests at once. As a temporary solution the zen-kernel developers have limited the maximum connections in order to reduce the server's stress. This led to the fact that almost nobody was able to update his tree because all slots were taken by people that tried to clone it. Another issue was that people never kept a copy of the tree. They were probably using yaourt or similar utilities. Having successfully built the kernel, they removed the kernel source. Zen-kernel developers have requested more RAM for their server and it will arrive soon. As a temporary solution the PKGBUILD downloads a snapshot instead of cloning the tree. You can disable that behaviour by taking a look at the PKGBUILD however it is not recommended to to so.
