I can't compile the package, it returns the following error message

error: failed to build 'linux-bcachefs-git-6.4.2.arch1.r1189887.924149fbe383-1 (linux-bcachefs-git linux-bcachefs-git-headers)':

I tried compiling on a different machine and got the same error, deleting the repo and re-downloading didn't work And I didn't find a file for "scripts/Makefile.build" either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(English is not my native language; please excuse typing errors.)

@Nanoshift

Don't know, sorry. It's part of the same make process that builds the kernel, so it is probably some upstream bug. I can't fix something like that.

The docs take a long time to build on my system due to sphinx-build using -j1 on my 16-thread system. Is there a way to change that? Edit: MAKEFLAGS="-j16" doesn't change it.

@Nanoshift

Should be fixed now

There was a gpg problem that I fixed with: gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-keys 3B94A80E50A477C7. Now, prepare() gets stuck when running yes "$_subarch" | _make oldconfig. It loops endlessly by answering 12 (my $_subarch) to a question about “Compressed Debug information”:

Compressed Debug information
> 1. Don't compress debug information (DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED_NONE)
  2. Compress debugging information with zlib (DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED_ZLIB)
  3. Compress debugging information with zstd (DEBUG_INFO_COMPRESSED_ZSTD) (NEW)
choice[1-3?]: 12

Edit1: _makenconfig=, _subarch=12, _localmodcfg=1 and I generated modprobed.db

Edit2: I fixed it by changing yes "$_subarch" | _make oldconfig to _make oldconfig

Package is not buildable in a clean chroot environment unlike other linux packages from the aur repository. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

Hmmmmm, odd. I have bcachefs upstream configured to not be committed upon merging, so this shouldn't be a problem... not sure how I can fix for this for you.

The only solution I can see at the moment is just setting a global Git email and name, even if just random mush to satisfy this odd bug.

@Vitruvius

I would recommend locking the bcachefs_master merge to a specific commit, rather than master. I got a kernel panic from (I think) a bad automatic merge from the upstream being 6.2.12-arch1 and bcachefs master being 6.3.0.

I can't do that by default, as the package is supposed to pull the latest Git commit from master by default.

If you want a certain commit, you can add '#commit=<commit>' onto the end of the Git repo line in the sources list.

An unrelated issue building 6.3.0: The error libbpf: failed to find '.BTF' ELF section in vmlinux is fixed by settings CONFIG_X86_KERNEL_IBT=n

I'm just following Arch upstream's config as much as possible, so if it's a bug here, there's something else going on.
