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: 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.

On many arch systems, this will cause systemd-modules-load to fail because the crypto_user module is not available.

@volfyd The srpm thing was a temporary solution. I filled the issue on github and they've updated the git repo which was out of date for two weeks or so.

Now, I've switched to the official kernel tarball/patch and fetching clearlinux patches via git.

(NOTICE: NEED TO IMPORT THE GPG KEYS FOR THIS )

This should save a bit of bandwidth and cause less problems. ;-)

Looks like 516 is already out.

@ahjolinna nvidia? Sorry, but no. Never had/used any nvidia cards so I wouldn't be able to test anything.

"dm_cache & dm_cache_smq"? I answered this one in my first comment below. It's not enabled by default. It's marked as experimental in kernel.

Here's a patch you can try that enables it. Add it to sources in pkgbuild file and rebuild the package.

https://pastebin.com/dDuzv2ux

why isn't the "dm_cache & dm_cache_smq" enabled in the kernel conf?, as I get module not found error

@metak: btw. is it possible you could add the nvidia driver to repo so there wouldn't be any need to compile them...at least an aur version

it seems I have to use a workaround for this problem; by adding "SigLevel = Never" ...not the best solution but it works so I'm happy

about the "intel-ucode" thing, I didnt know/notice as I have skylake cpu so thankfully it hasn't affected me

@ahjolinna I can't help with the repo since that is the limitation with archlinux support in opensuse build service. I reported that issue years ago. ;-) https://github.com/openSUSE/obs-build/issues/129 https://github.com/openSUSE/obs-build/issues/319 Basically, build service rebuilds packages even when that's not actually necessary and thus pkgver-pkgrel don't change but the package is now 'corrupt'. It's safe to just install it with pacman -U. Although, this kernel builds fast even on my old machine.

As for "intel-ucode", there's a bug opened, known issues, debian and redhat also reverted to that older version, and intel removed the 20180108 tarball from their site. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/57067?project=1&string=intel-ucode

I think your repo is "broken" ...at least repo key (Remote key not fetched correctly from keyserver.) and same goes with the pkgs, I get "invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)" when I tried to install them directly

PS. is there a reason why you are using the older "intel-ucode" pkgs compare to whats is in arch repos?

1. Binaries available in my repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/metakcahura:/kernel/Arch_Extra_standard/x86_64/

[home_metakcahura_kernel_Arch_Extra_standard]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/metakcahura:/kernel/Arch_Extra_standard/$arch

THIS IS OPTIONAL:

2. After install adjust your boot cmd line. ClearLinux uses clr-boot-manager which takes care of that. This is upstream default:
