How to configure custom kernel build parameters and custom patch

simendsjo · 2014-08-04 14:11:03

I'm running a custom patch on the kernel (linux-ck), and I also compile for my native CPU.
Each time a kernel upgrade comes along, I edit the pkgbuild and add 'nconfig' to set up my CPU, and add the custom patch.
This works well, but it's a bit tedious.

What is a good way to handle this more automatically?

By far the simplest would be to use Graysky's linux-ck repo with various builds optimized for a range of different processors.

Next to that, if you're willing (or wanting to) compile it yourself, just keep your own PKGBUILD rather than starting from scratch every time.

What is that?

I'm already compiling every time (I need a custom patch). But "my" pkgbuild is only setting 'y' on two options, adding the custom patch and finally, manually, setting the correct CPU.
Having my own pkgbuild means I'll have to run a diff each time which probably is the same amount of work.

Haha Thanks. I'll try it later. Right now it seems like a problem with the server: "transfer closed with xxx bytes remaining to read"

Did you read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Repo-ck ?

EDIT: Never mind. Using pacman rather than yaourt worked.

Yes. I get the following error:

Just try it again a few times until it works, Graysky's having problems with his hosting provider at the moment.

Edit - Why are you installing both the host and guest virtualbox modules? There's no reason you should have both.

The wiki page has a troubleshooting section, maybe there's something worth trying out.
