Compiling a manjaro kernel

[anon79574093]

I am using 5.15.2-2-MANJARO kernel and I want to compile and install the 5.15.4 kernel from the official gitlab repo Packages / Core / linux515 · GitLab.
I have done these steps :-

mkdir kernelbuild
cd kernelbuild
git clone https://gitlab.manjaro.org/packages/core/linux515
cd linux515
makepkg --nobuild
(Downloading and extracting the 5.15.4 package)

What do I do now ? The other tutorials on manjaro forums DON’T take the package files from gitlab, they take it from kernel.org.

Instead of makepkg -s, run makepkg --nobuild to retrieve sources Create patch file as described in the Arch Wiki page ‘Patching Packages’. Be sure to make copies of directories, etc. as described so pat…
