[SOLVED]Custom kernel not updating?

I am trying to follow the instructions on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … ild_System in the section Updating.
I can proceed with changing the version to match my own as required.
At the bottom of a bunch of steps in code, all of which were successful for me, there is:

Now one should manually merge, probably copy, the files at linux-tmp to the files by the same name at its parent directory. After which, the directory linux-tmp/, with all the files in it, can be deleted. Then run manually most, if not all, of PKGBUILD::prepare().

I have taken some extra stupid pills tonight and cannot figure out how to do that last sentence.
Looking at the sh-code of PKGBUILD shows me that manually==nearly impossible?

If I try to jump ahead and do 

makepkg --verifysource

it validates with sha256sums but then runs into a roadblock 

    archlinux-linux ... Skipped
    config ... Passed
    60-linux.hook ... Passed
    90-linux.hook ... Passed
    linux.preset ... Passed
==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg...
    archlinux-linux git repo ... SIGNATURE NOT FOUND
==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!

I am pretty sure it was a mistake to jump ahead, but how to I run prepare()? Use makepkg --nobuild? Or am I unrecoverably messed up?

Was the version did you changed it to and is that version signed?

Re: [SOLVED]Custom kernel not updating?

Supposedly I updated it from
5.2.10.arch1-1
to
5.2.14-arch2-1, the latter as specified from the canonical source for pacman.

Re: [SOLVED]Custom kernel not updating?

Please post the PKGBUILD.
Edit:
Also please always post the full output from a command.

PKGBUILD is visible at
https://gist.github.com/6d33c1e7b7f4ce9 … bfd4ddb132
output of 

makepkg -s

is below:

_srcver=_srcver=5.2.14-arch2

Please try with

_srcver=5.2.14-arch2

Re: [SOLVED]Custom kernel not updating?

Oh My Goodness. Typo hell.

That took care of the SIGNATURE NOT FOUND error.

It also rewrote all the kernel config flags. I have to insert into PKGBUILD  

 make nconfig; make prepare

in place of the old 

make olddefconfig

.

I hope it is safe to do 

makepkg -s

because that is my next step.

NOPE:

Is there a better way to say

Then run manually most, if not all, of PKGBUILD::prepare().

so that a bash newbie can do it?

Re: [SOLVED]Custom kernel not updating?

When I did a 

git fetch --verbose

it output 

 = [up to date]                v5.2-arch1     -> v5.2-arch1
 = [up to date]                v5.2-arch2     -> v5.2-arch2
 = [up to date]                v5.2.1-arch1   -> v5.2.1-arch1
 = [up to date]                v5.2.10-arch1  -> v5.2.10-arch1
 = [up to date]                v5.2.11-arch1  -> v5.2.11-arch1
 = [up to date]                v5.2.13-arch1  -> v5.2.13-arch1
 = [up to date]                v5.2.14-arch1  -> v5.2.14-arch1
 = [up to date]                v5.2.14-arch2  -> v5.2.14-arch2
 = [up to date]                v5.2.2-arch1   -> v5.2.2-arch1
 = [up to date]                v5.2.3-arch1   -> v5.2.3-arch1
 = [up to date]                v5.2.4-arch1   -> v5.2.4-arch1
 = [up to date]                v5.2.5-arch1   -> v5.2.5-arch1
 = [up to date]                v5.2.6-arch1   -> v5.2.6-arch1
 = [up to date]                v5.2.7-arch1   -> v5.2.7-arch1
 = [up to date]                v5.2.8-arch1   -> v5.2.8-arch1
 = [up to date]                v5.2.9-arch1   -> v5.2.9-arch1
 = [up to date]                v5.3-arch1     -> v5.3-arch1

So does that mean I am doing  "v5.3-arch1"   instead of "v5.2.14-arch2 "?
I did 

git checkout master
git pull
git fetch --tag

and that printed as last line of output :::

* [new tag]                   v5.3-arch1 -> v5.3-arch1

I did not want to move into a new minor version.

Since all of the above were to manage an upgrade to a mostly-usual kernel, I bit the bullet and decided to redo the build from zero.
It is currently compiling the kernel modules. Nevertheless, there are holes in the Upgrade process that should be addressed.
Thanks to loqs for taking the time to work this with me.

This was not solved. I believe it should not reflect that in the title. How is something like that done? I read the rules, but nothing appeared.

Re: [SOLVED]Custom kernel not updating?

It gives:

I am following the Kernel/Arch Build System wiki instruction page as closely as possible.

Re: [SOLVED]Custom kernel not updating?

If you have not made any changes inside src that need to be preserved.

makepkg -C

This will remove the contents of the src directory before checking out the git tree again hopefully removing the ambiguity.

Re: [SOLVED]Custom kernel not updating?

It completed the build ok.
Will try again.
(when I do it now, in build/linux/trunk, it gives

==> ERROR: The package group has already been built. (use -f to overwrite)

so I started again with a clean tree at ~/build/ and did

$ asp update linux
$ asp checkout linux
cd linux/trunk/
emacs PKGBUILD <<< to clean pkgbase and _pkgver

Copied the old config over the new one (so the interactive config would be moot) Then

updpkgsums

and

makepkg -C

as suggested.
Next I will do

makepkg -f

as suggested.

Re: [SOLVED]Custom kernel not updating?

The following should now work

makepkg -f

If you wanted to preserve any changes you had made in src you would instead use.

makepkg -ef
