linux-clear
This repository contains the PKGBUILD
file required for building the linux-clear
and linux-clear-headers
packages.
You can find this package on the AUR.
How to build and install
Read this Arch Linux Wiki article.
Updates
This package is usually updated 0-3 days after a kernel release. If a security-relevant update is available the package will be updated as soon as possible.
Environment variables
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-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 sub architecture to compile for (see the PKGBUILD file for a list of all subarches). Default is41
(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 ton
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:
gpg --locate-keys torvalds@kernel.org gregkh@kernel.org sashal@kernel.org benhh@debian.org
This command only needs to be executed once.
Issue handling
Please only submit issues if they aren't bug reports about the package or help requests. Please keep them on the AUR only. This prevents unnecessary signups.
License
This package does not yet have a license as the original repository (before me becoming it's maintainer) did not have one yet. I have contacted metak (the previous maintainer) to negotiate a license.
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 in a simple manner to decrease build time. If you don't want that, using makepkg
as-is works fine too.
