Arch Linux User Repository

Do not forget the module.sig_unenforce parameter. Stock parameters are saved in /boot/vmlinuz-linux-clear.cmdline, although you may not need to apply all the parameters.

I have updated linux-clear-bin for the recent changes to Arch Linux's mkinitcpio. The kernel image is no longer owned by the linux-clear-bin package, instead it is copied/removed by mkinitcpio. You don't need to do anything.

Also, the package version as seen by pacman will now be formatted like "5.3.9.839-1" instead of "5.3.9-839", where the Clear Linux revision is using a dotted notation following the vanilla kernel version. This follows the example of other official Arch Linux kernels such as linux-zen and linux-hardened, and allows us to use proper Arch Linux package revisions.

Is there any potential for an -lts kernel?

I posted a vastly improved PKGBUILD based on yw662's version in the better-pkgbuild branch on my GitHub repository[0]. Fixes include:

• Move PKGBUILD variables out of prepare() function
• Prefix non-standard PKGBUILD variables with underscore
• Add manifest and kernel pack to source files
• Use SHA256 instead of MD5 for verification of source files
• Let makepkg download source files instead of using curl directly in package()
• Let makepkg unpack source files instead of using tar directly in package()
• Use local variables in package() and build()
• Add WIREGUARD-MODULE to "provides"
• Add linux.preset file for generating initramfs
• Add hooks to update and remove initramfs if package is updated or removed
• Updated to 5.2.9-825

I still don't like the use of pkgver for the Clear Linux kernel version because it breaks the Arch pkgrel logic. For example, we cannot ship an update to 5.2.8-821 without incrementing 821. We can perhaps use the PKGBUILD 'epoch' for this though...

@yw662 How to enable modules like Wifi and sound?

This is cool, yw662. I didn't know Intel provided binaries of Clear Linux kernel. A few suggestions:

• I think you should use sha256sums instead of md5sums
• You should add the Manifest and packagefile to sha256sums to let makepkg download and verify them instead of calling curl in the package/build step
• You should add WIREGUARD-MODULE to provides

Do not forget the module.sig_unenforce parameter. Stock parameters are saved in /boot/vmlinuz-linux-clear.cmdline, although you may not need to apply all the parameters.
