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.

I'm having trouble with compiling nvidia-dkms on the current version. Is everyone else doing fine?

Can the MuQSS CPU scheduler be added to this kernel? (I tried by adding a patch, but it didn't work).

Currently the repo domain seems to have some dnssec issues: https://dnsviz.net/d/download.opensuse.org/dnssec/

@maxpshaw It depends which boot loader you're using. I'm using grub so I have a custom file /etc/grub.d/40_custom with all the different clear linux entries.

@metak Hi, Where can I adjust the boot cmd line?

metak commented on 2020-02-24 10:31 (UTC)

@maxpshaw Hi. That's the default boot cmd line for this kernel in clear linux and if you want to change it however you want you're free to do so, the kernel will still boot even without any adjustment.

maxpshaw commented on 2020-02-24 05:47 (UTC)

@metak Hi, is it necessary to adjust boot cmd line to use clr-boot-manager? I was able to boot without adjust the boot cmd line.

@metak - Oh I see, adding SigLevel = Optional for now. Thanks!

@eca Hi, yes OBS (open build service) just recently added support for zstd packages in arch and the part that generates the signatures wasn't yet updated. ISSUE REPORT

But, on the other hand the signatures for pacman in OBS are broken since a long time ago so there's that... if you look a page or two back in the comments you'll find my explanation.
