Proposal update
The package has been updated to 6.11.7 (clr 6.11.6-1477), and with that landlock support has been enabled the package source moved to https://git.staropensource.de/JeremyStarTM/linux-clear.

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

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.

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
_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 40 (Generic-x86-64), which is compatible with all amd64 processors. Must be a number
_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.

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. Tihs prevents unnecessary signups.

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.

@krathalan I can change that with next update.

@metak some users (like myself) may have their ~/.config/modprobed.db file actually be a symlink to somewhere else that is shared with other systems. You should change the -f on line 215 from if [ -f $HOME/.config/modprobed.db ]; then to -e, so it reads if [ -e $HOME/.config/modprobed.db ]; then.

From man test, -f checks that: FILE exists and is a regular file (emphasis mine). -e only checks that: FILE exists. -f returns false if the file exists but is a symlink.

So once I've built the kernel with my customized config options from nconfig, I see the config file is copied into the main directory. How do I use this when I want to recompile again, or when the kernel updates and there are more config options (like make oldconfig would show you)?

Thanks, metak!

metak commented on 2020-08-29 13:43 (UTC)

@enihcam Change urls, remove patches and configs added in this package that you don't need. Comment out the Patch0129 otherwise the build will fail.

enihcam commented on 2020-08-29 13:28 (UTC)

@metak, I need patches from https://github.com/clearlinux-pkgs/linux-hyperv instead. Can I just grab your PKGBUILD and change few URLs? what else should I change?

metak commented on 2020-08-19 15:46 (UTC)

@Gonzo2028 Works fine on my end. Please try building with makepkg instead of aur helpers and clean your build directory first.

@Tjuh Well that's up to clear team to update first. The -current & -preempt-rt are both updated to latest clear versions 5.8.0.rc7 & 5.6.19.rt11 - upstream.
5.9rc1 was released and clear team will probably update their -current soon to it.

Tjuh commented on 2020-08-19 14:56 (UTC)

Plese update current and preempt-rt versions.

Tjuh commented on 2020-08-19 14:56 (UTC)

Plese update current and preempt-rt versions.

Does not build for me, using localmodconfig=y.
