Information comment
This comment provides useful information about this package. Make sure to read it through, you won't regret it.

Repository URL
This package is hosted at sos!git. If you want to contribute to the package, you can do it here: https://git.staropensource.de/JeremyStarTM/aur-linux-clear

Issue handling
Please only submit issues in the package's repository if they aren't bug reports about the package or help requests. Please keep them to the AUR only. This prevents unnecessary signups.

Updates
I usually publish updates 0-3 days after a kernel release, depending on how busy I am.
If I however get wind of security-relevant updates or any vulnerabilities I will try to update the kernel as soon as possible and write a comment about the vulnerability/update. So make sure to subscribe to this package's comment mailing list.

PKGBUILD environment variable customization
The PKGBUILD file supports customization via environment variables. Here's a list of all of them:
_makemenuconfig: Invokes make menuconfig (ncurses-based default configuration menu) before compilation starts
_makenconfig: Invokes make nconfig (ncurses-based nicer configuration menu) before compilation starts
_makexconfig: Invokes make xconfig (X11-based GUI configuration menu) before compilation starts
_use_current: Will use the configuration of the running kernel, if the running kernel is compiled with IKCONFIG_PROC
_optimize_defconfig: Applies package maintainer-picked configuration changes to your defconfig. Only takes effect with _use_current being enabled
_copyfinalconfig: Copies the final kernel configuration into the repository root as kconfig-new before compilation starts
_localmodcfg: Only compiles modules found in modprobed-db's database (which decreases compilation time and kernel size)
_use_llvm_lto: Compiles the kernel with LLVM instead of GCC. Should work, if not write a comment
_subarch: Specifies the sub architecture to compile for (see the PKGBUILD file for a list of all subarches). Default is 41 (GENERIC_CPU), compatible with all amd64 processors. Must be a number
_subarch_microarch: Specifies the microarchitecture to compile for. Only applies to and is required by the GENERIC_CPU subarch. Must be a number between 1 and 4 (click for more information)
_debug: Force enables debug options when set to y, force disables debug options when set to n or uses the config defaults when unset

All of these variables just need to be set for them to apply, except for _subarch and _debug. See their descriptions for more information.

GPG errors
If makepkg complains about invalid PGP keys, try running this command first: gpg --locate-keys torvalds@kernel.org gregkh@kernel.org sashal@kernel.org benh@debian.org. This command only needs to be executed once.

Build tool
If you want a dead simple way to compile this package, you can try out my build tool. It includes a few no nonsense changes to the kernel configuration and allows you to configure the PKGBUILD file in a simple manner and decrease build time. And if you don't want that, using makepkg as-is works fine too.

oddpuck: It only took about twenty minutes on my gaming hardware, with the "performance" cpu scheduler on the linux-lts kernel. Oh and I gave makepkg a nice level of -20.

oddpuck: update from 6.7.9 to 6.7.10 with env _use_current=y _subarch=44 _localmodcfg=y _debug=n paru -S linux-clear linux-clear-headers took exactly 14 minutes on an undervolted i5-8350U

oddpuck commented on 2024-03-16 22:56 (UTC)

How long does it normally take to build?

metak commented on 2024-01-26 16:41 (UTC)

@NaNpsycho This package tracks Clear Linux kernel package that is still on 6.6.* series. When they rebase the patches and update to 6.7 so will this package.

NaNpsycho commented on 2024-01-23 15:22 (UTC)

Hey just wanna know is there a particular reason we are sticking with the linux-lts kernel version? We already have linux 6.7 around so there any particular reason why the clear linux patches are compiled against linux 6.6?

Today I removed linux-clear from ignore and it installed fine.

csts commented on 2024-01-13 09:28 (UTC)

Latest linux-clear appears corrupted, doesn't let me update before deleting it from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ then ignoring it from pacman.conf.

Thanks, that 6.6.10-2 works.

metak commented on 2024-01-06 11:24 (UTC)

@jonathanvk The clr team removed the patch that was causing issues. latest 6.6.10-2 should fix it.

After installing 6.6.10-1, my system hangs on ifconfig. I can only boot by disabling NetworkManager. Reverting to 6.6.8-1 works.
