Is this step necessary for normal users?
It still fails after doing this: pkgctl repo clone --unprivileged --universe

You probably just want to look at the last post for this case: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 2#p2101342 -- note the devtools in reference there is only present in testing currently. -- or use the git clone method.

After adding --protocol=https, it works.

sudo pkgctl repo clone --protocol=https linux

For users of the now deprecated asp tool, you will need to switch to pkgctl:

Do you intend to build the kernel yourself?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_build_system
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Compile_kernel_module
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Develo … A_Packager

PSA: Don't copy and paste random stuff from the internet, that you apparently don't understand, into an interactive shell.

Re: [Resolved] Can't follow the instruction from Arch news.

I decided to fetch the Arch kernel source today so went straight to wiki to learn how to use the new pkgctl (at the first link seth quotes above). However the first step there fails with a "Permission denied (publickey)." error so I hunted around and found this thread.

- Are we expected to add that `--protocol=https`  every time we want to use pkgctl?
- Why is the wiki not updated to say this?

Personally I doubt users would be expected to add that option every time so it just seems like a bug to me.
