oddpuck: I haven't tried using modprobed-db during kernel compilation yet, but maybe it compiles all modules first and then sorts them out during package().
I'll try compiling my custom kernel (which is based on this package) with modprobed-db enabled in a few days, maybe I can confirm my suspicion. I'll definitely post more info here in the coming days.
I must be doing something wrong. I have the db file from modprobed-db, and I put its path at line 18 in the PKGBUILD. It still starts building a bunch of amd drm stuff, at which point I kill the build, after ~19 minutes. CPU is an i7-12800H. Nvidia GPU
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
How long does it normally take to build?
@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.
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.
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.

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.

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: Invokesmake menuconfig(ncurses-based default configuration menu) before compilation starts_makenconfig: Invokesmake nconfig(ncurses-based nicer configuration menu) before compilation starts_makexconfig: Invokesmake 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 withIKCONFIG_PROC_copyfinalconfig: Copies the final kernel configuration into the repository root askconfig-newbefore 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 is40(Generic-x86-64), which is compatible with all amd64 processors. Must be a number_debug: Force enables debug options when set toy, force disables debug options when set tonor uses the config defaults when unsetAll of these variables just need to be set for them to apply, except for
_subarchand_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
makepkgas-is works fine too.
