There are similar PKGBUILDs in the AUR for -viper, -fallen, etc. Maybe you could modify one of those for -klight?

Also an observation: you say "it seems to be wonderful" but the first of two comments in that thread says it's "slow as hell", and the second just asks for 2.6.22 version. Are there comments elsewhere saying it's good?

Hi Tomk,
Some french guy using archlinux run arch on it.
And with kernel-source on the archlinuxfr repository, we can easyly compil it.
But i would like to have a generic kernel package like the others

Well, if "we" can easily compile it, maybe "we" should.

Does "we" not include you?

Don't waste your time. Just use vanilla. any difference or speed up you see is either placebo, or is negated by the amount of time you waste messing with the new kernel.

Heck, I probably wasted more time making this post than an alternative kernel would have saved you.

Re: [REQ] 2.6.21-klight7 repository?

iphitus' advice is good. I just wanted to answer your question.

And to conclude - I had already guessed that you didn't know how to do it, but I thought you might consider learning how to do it. That's why I suggested you look at some similar work by others.
