Tired of compiling? Use this binary repo instead! Add this at the end of /etc/pacman.conf :

[linuxkernels]
Server = http://nhameh.ovh/$repo/$arch
SigLevel = Optional TrustAll

"Maybe the option "-j(Nr_of_cores-2)" as default might be a useful parameter?"

I dont control that variable, its provided by makepkg.conf, which is provided by core/pacman. I can only give you my experiences, and I had a situation where I had to do a "nr_of_cors+ 2+" -J flag.

I'm just glad you found your problem :-)

I have 8 cores, single threaded (4700U, laptop) and I tested the build process with -j4 and -j6, since I was still logged on.

Although I did not benchmark the processes precisely, -j6 built the kernel in a few minutes, while the default from the package was inacceptable long while the cores were sleeping ;-)

Maybe the option "-j(Nr_of_cores-2)" as default might be a useful parameter?

Thanks for the hint with -O3, I reset it to the default. Kind regards

eggz commented on 2021-10-10 10:35 (UTC)

how much cores you have and how many workers you pick? try adding 5 workers more than your threads and see what happens.

Be careful with choosing -O3, not all makefiles/packages support this and you might run into compatibility issues.

For the last few kernel updates, the build process does not run on all availiable core.

Since this takes obviously much, much more time, I wondered if there is a technical reason, not to use on all the cores any more.

I am a noob, but I wonder, if "-j <no. of cores - 1>" in $MAKEFLAGS and "-O3" in $CFLAGS could speed up building the kernel.

Cheers,

@eggz provides=linux description in wiki about reasons are quite full, but I wonder, what will happen if one would actually add this to a PKGBUILD, lets say separate one, specificaly tailored to replace existing default kernel, I mean like, would arch people take this AUR package down or it would just block a merge to community repo.

Would like to here a comment about that from Arch people.

sorry bkuri, I got told by arch linux staff not to do so. I find it annoying aswel.

@eggz Thanks for maintaining this package.

Would it be possible to add provides=linux to the PKGBUILD? I'm trying to remove the built-in manjaro kernel by using the following command mhwd-kernel -r linux510, but I'm receiving an error like "removing linux510 breaks dependency 'linux'".

Cheers!

Yea, seems ok, yay AUR build cache was in the way, thanks

eggz commented on 2021-09-17 09:14 (UTC)

Yeah, thought so; it should have been fixed with the last commit yesterday? Otherwise I'm not following.

s3rj1k commented on 2021-09-17 08:39 (UTC)

@eggz latest change broke build at sha256sums check for renamed patch, sorry about stating that for the other kernel, got a bit mixed-up.
