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

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 open an issue
- _subarch: Specifies the subarchitecture to compile for (see the PKGBUILD file for a list of all subarches). Default is 41/MGENERIC_CPU (Generic x86-64), which is compatible with all amd64 processors. Must be a number or subarch name
- _subarch_microarch: Specifies the microarchitecture to compile for. Only applies to and is required by the MGENERIC_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
- _show_compile: Enables verbose-er compilation output and displays all executing make targets. Enabled by default, unset for 'pv' output

All of these variables just need to be set for them to apply, except for _subarch and _debug. For more information please check their documentation inside the PKGBUILD file

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.

@metak Thanks and sorry for my ignorance. I would like to manually add the "loop" module since I would have to reboot to enforce it.

metak commented on 2019-02-23 20:30 (UTC)

@phantomas Just set it to _localmodcfg=y and that should be it. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Modprobed-db

phantomas commented on 2019-02-23 20:09 (UTC)

What should I enter at localmodcfg?

I would like to use modprobed-db, so

_localmodcfg=~/.config/modprobed-db.conf ??

xuanruiqi commented on 2019-02-22 20:12 (UTC)

I tried and seems that it doesn't break anything.

metak commented on 2019-02-20 13:56 (UTC)

@xuanruiqi You can try it if you want. If you followed the instructions in my pinned comment and it still for some reason doesn't work you can still just reboot to default kernel. It shouldn't break anything.

xuanruiqi commented on 2019-02-20 07:34 (UTC)

Thinking about installing this, but wanted to confirm that the extra boot parameters won't break other installed kernels.

bruceutut commented on 2019-02-16 05:09 (UTC)

@metak works like a charm on both local and building machine. thanks m8.

@bruceutut Edit: Hey brucetut. I rearranged some things in pkgbuild file and now it appears to build fine. ;-) Can you try it and report back. (I won't bump pkrel for this)

bruceutut commented on 2019-02-14 06:13 (UTC)

@metak

Here is the full build log on building machine built with extra-x86_64-build

https://fars.ee/W-yp.log

And built package with issue:

https://build.archlinuxcn.org/~bruceutut/linux-clear-tesonly.pkg.tar.xz

And same package built with makepkg on my local machine:

https://build.archlinuxcn.org/~bruceutut/linux-clear-4.20.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

And my friend another aur packager try to modify pkgbuild to solve this issue refering ths

https://fars.ee/XYbb
https://build.archlinuxcn.org/~megumifox/linux-clear/PKGBUILD

Thanks again.

metak commented on 2019-02-13 22:37 (UTC)

@bruceutut I'll try replicating this issue when I get some free time, but in the meantime, you could upload full build logs and the built 'bad' package somewhere for me to take a look.
