I want to test the linux3.0 kerne. Whats the most easiest way to test
it? Is there a AUR package? I couldn't find it.
kernel26-mainline 3.0rc3-1
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39965
Why is it named kernel26? Also i was checking out the PKGBUILD. Do i
have to compile and install the kernel headers and kernel docs? Also the
pkgname is kernel26-mainline. But the the line 69 is
package_kernel26() { but shouldn't it be renamed
package_kernel26-mainline() { ?
I don't want to mess up my existing kernel by installing it. I want to
install it as package named kernel26-mainline.
Also is there anyway to check what files a package will add or remove
from my system when I install it without actually installing it?
Thanks
You don't have to install it after makepkg is done. `tar tf
kernel26-mainline-blah.pkg.tar.xz` will list the contents. pacman can do
that as well (for specifics, see the manual).
The package was first uploaded on 17 Aug 2010, at that time there was no
linux 3.0.
You can tell makepkg to only build the packages you want from a split
pkgbuild (again, see the manual).
