Kernel Sources ... without pacman / archlinux

I need to access the latest ArchLinux kernel source, version 3.17.2-1-ARCH, in order to view the drivers included in the latest kernel.

I tried installing ArchLinux on my other machine, but I'm having difficulty getting networking working with VirtualBox.

So, can I get the latest ArchLinux sources without using pacman, or without using ArchLinux? Maybe download a .tar file or something? Or even just view the sources online?

Thanks in advance.

The files used to build the packages are viewable online: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … ages/linux

You can extract the source tarball URLs from the PKGBUILD.

Re: Kernel Sources ... without pacman / archlinux

Welcome to Arch Linux.

Here is a link to a page that provides the Arch specific files.  https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … ages/linux

If you read the PKGBUILD, you will note that it will download the kernel sources themselves from kernel.org.   It then applies the two patches that are provided.  It then compiles the according to the the configuration file that is provided.

What you will want to do is download that package to a working directory, and run makepkg as you would with anything in the AUR.   You are new to the forums, so let me suggest you check the wiki for articles on the ABS (Arch Build System)
