How to compile new kernel?

[xanb]

Are the instructions [1] [2] provided in general archlinux wiki aplicable for ARM?

I have raspberrypi.
How can I do for compiling kernel with PaX patches for example?

Thanks in advance,
Xan

The PKGBUILD is on our github. It is well commented.

Can you provide some information? How to compile it? What's the difference between "normal" archlinux and "arm"?. Please, be more explicit. I'm a begginer with all of stuff.

Thanks,

Research PKGBUILD and makepkg in ArchWiki then take a look at the PKGBUILDs that we have and you will understand.

https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUIL ... aspberrypi
https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUIL ... ypi-latest

You will need to checkout our github repo, then modify the PKGBUILD files to your liking.

I don't understant yet.

Is there any tutorial? I searched in your references but I considered difficult. I searched in google and in forums and I found nothing. Can anyone please put the steps I have to follow to compile new kernel for Raspberrypi?

Thanks,

On a raspberry pi
Try to put rootfs on hard drive, find out how make swap file
pacman -Syu
sync
reboot
pacman -S dase-devel git
git clone https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs.git
cd core/linux-raspberrypi
Get your patches, edit PKGBUILD, gen the mdsums with makepkg -g and edit PKGBUILD to put in
Now make kernel pkg with
makepkg -Acs

Thank you. A lot of work.

Another question: why in archarm there is no linux-lts package? I want to make my raspberrypi server and linux-lts package fits more properly here.

Thanks,
Xan

For that, don't use linux-raspberrypi-latest, but just linux-raspberrypi.
