[REQUEST] Kernel ZEN
Current packages in AUR uses git to download and build kernel with zen patchset. Can someone make package with stable patches (http://zen-sources.org/project/Zen-Sources)? I'm not familiar with kernel PKGBUILDs. So name should be kernel26-zen, and config must use default arch params + zen extra features.
Thanks

You want a snpshot?
But in this package's git is only as makedepends and after build you can remove it form your pacman db

Re: [REQUEST] Kernel ZEN
SpeedVin - he wants a kernel built from zen's stable tarball and the current 2.6.30 kernel version. He's not objecting to the installation of git.
LexRivera - you can hang around on this thread and hope someone does what you're asking, or you can spend some time learning how to do it yourself. Everything you need is in the wiki.

Re: [REQUEST] Kernel ZEN
Also, this:
The only patch you will get from us is a monolithic patch applied on top of some vanilla kernel base; we prefer you to use git and "git checkout" the latest stable tag.
IOW.. use the AUR PKGBUILDS, and be happy.

Re: [REQUEST] Kernel ZEN
i made a quick & dirty PKGBUILD if you want but you'll have to deal with the config (i'm way too lazy to do that sorry). i have a question though, zen patches are available as lzma archives, is there any trick to make makepkg extract those? i just added the decompression process in the PKGBUILD but...

Re: [REQUEST] Kernel ZEN
Currently i'm doing it manually - via dirty pkgbuild, with applying patch by hands and other...
About extraction... only manually via lzma -d.
I have my own config - based on arch's + zen extra features.

Re: [REQUEST] Kernel ZEN
By the way, you can change what branch that the kernel26zen-git package pulls from by editing the CONFIG file that comes with it.

I know by snapshot I mean development relases and stable relases.
I have one question about zen-kernel.
He I want to use it he is faster,have more thing then arch stock kernel?

Re: [REQUEST] Kernel ZEN
There may be some benefits from the Brainfuck scheduler, SLQB allocator, and improved drivers, to name a few things.

Re: [REQUEST] Kernel ZEN
the BFQ I/O scheduler is also a nice feature.
