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.

SMBIOS messages are gone, thanks.

@btd1337 If you've already created $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/modprobed.db as per WIKI then you only have to set _localmodcfg=y. That's all.

What do this variable Pkgbuild, Line 57: _localmodcfg= needs?

Is this?

_localmodcfg=/home/myuser/.config/modprobed.db

metak commented on 2019-08-17 17:40 (UTC)

@btd1337 I've updated the repo instructions in the pinned comment.

@Elanzer I've enabled CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS_SMM=y, can you try the latest version?

Elanzer commented on 2019-08-17 15:37 (UTC)

I'm getting this message on boot:

dell_smbios: No SMBIOS backends available (wmi: -19, smm: -19) dell_smbios: No dell-smbios drivers are loaded

System is running fine, but still worries me. It's was fixed upstream, according https://github.com/clearlinux/distribution/issues/609

I think dell_smbios is set to user 'smm' but only 'wmi' is available with clear-linux

@btd1337 Hi. That first line should be [home_metakcahura_kernel_Arch_Extra_standard].

@metak how to use your repository in Arch Linux?

I tried this:

[Arch_Extra_standard]
# binaries for Clear Linux kernel
Server = http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/metakcahura:/kernel/Arch_Extra_standard/x86_64

but this error occurs:

error: failed to get "Arch_Extra_standard.db" file from download.opensuse.org: The requested URL returned error: 404
Error: Failed to update Arch_Extra_standard (unexpected error)
error: failed to sync all databases
Error installing repo packages

Thanks in advance

I have uploaded some packages to download the kernel from clear linux repo, instead of compiling it from source. linux-clear-bin for the kernel, linux-clear-headers-bin for the headers, and intel-ucode-clear for intel cpu and i915 ucode. Hope it helps.

P.S. It is currently at 5.2.5-813, as in https://download.clearlinux.org/update/30610/.

metak commented on 2019-08-01 16:29 (UTC)

No, I only updated to the latest upstream kernel bugfix release 5.2.5.
