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.

@aorth I've added the info in the pinned comment about unsigned modules.

Does anyone know how to get DKMS modules like VirtualBox to work with this kernel? When I try to modprobe the modules I get the error "required key not available." For what it's worth, I do not have secure boot enabled.

Edit: @metak, thanks for the tip about the module.sig_unenforce boot parameter!

enihcam commented on 2018-08-23 23:37 (UTC)

Yes, of course. Thanks a lot!

@enihcam If others don't disagree then I'll drop linux-clear-docs package in aur (next update), but I'll leave it in my repo build so if anyone needs it they can still get it there. Is this okay?

enihcam commented on 2018-08-23 10:04 (UTC) (edited on 2018-08-23 13:43 (UTC) by enihcam)

@metak, can you set python-sphinx and graphviz as optional dependencies? They are only needed by linux-clear-docs.

Or can you split linux-clear-docs out? like linux-ck. Very few people read local docs.

linux-clear is running in my router and NAS. python-sphinx and graphviz would bring too many unnecessary dependencies.

Thanks!

metak commented on 2018-08-06 18:31 (UTC)

@airend Thanx. That's the best way really. If the clear team are willing to enable something then it's easier for me since I don't have to change/patch anything. Your requested changes are now available with latest update.

airend commented on 2018-08-04 03:13 (UTC)

@metak, done in https://github.com/clearlinux/distribution/issues/135.

metak commented on 2018-08-03 14:38 (UTC) (edited on 2018-08-03 14:41 (UTC) by metak)

Update 2018-08-03 Update your boot parameter line. modprobe.blacklist and i915.fastboot were removed. (The pinned comment is updated version.)

@airend Could your please ask first over at https://github.com/clearlinux/distribution/issues if they would be willing to enable that by default in clr kernel?

airend commented on 2018-07-31 10:23 (UTC)

Is it possible to enable Zswap support (CONFIG_ZSWAP, CONFIG_ZPOOL, CONFIG_ZBUD, CONFIG_Z3FOLD, CONFIG_FRONTSWAP) and CONFIG_CLEANCACHE, like Arch kernels?

metak commented on 2018-07-30 11:51 (UTC)

@Enverex I think it's best to leave it like it is now (taken from linux-ck package and graysky2 patch). By default the _subarch is empty and it will detect/enable optimizations for your cpu family.
The binary in my repo is built with generic_cpu optimizations. You could create a script or something?

#!/bin/bash

git checkout PKGBUILD
git pull
sed -i 's|^_subarch.*|_subarch=27|' PKGBUILD
makepkg -Ccrs
