Re: a script of auto upgradekernel for archlinux

Most archlinux users that want a custom kernel use a PKGBUILD , build with makepkg  and install with pacman .

https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/pack … ages/linux is how core/linux is built .

Btw, your script will fail if the user doesn't have sudo installed.

And will prompt the user for a password every time you call sudo if they have sudo installed but timestamp_timeout=0 set in their sudoer defaults.
