Buildbot for Archlinux-based repos build with different
|
|
[x86-64 feature levels](https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GCC-11-x86-64-Feature-Levels), `-O3` and
|
|
[LTO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interprocedural_optimization).

|
|
|
> ⚠️ NVIDIA graphic users using the **proprietary driver** is highly recommended reading the
|
|
> [FAQ about Linux kernel modules](https://git.harting.dev/ALHP/ALHP.GO#directly-linked-kernel-modules) ⚠️
|
|
|
|
## Check your system for support
|
|
|
|
**Important**: Before you enable any of these repos, check if your system supports the feature level you want to enable
|
|
(e.g. `x86-64-v3`). You can do that with
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you don't check beforehand you might be unable to boot your system anymore and need to downgrade any package that you
|
|
may have upgraded.
|
|
|
|
Example output snippet for a system supporting up to `x86-64-v3`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Subdirectories of glibc-hwcaps directories, in priority order:
|
|
x86-64-v4
|
|
x86-64-v3 (supported, searched)
|
|
x86-64-v2 (supported, searched)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Enable Repos
|
|
|
|
To enable these complement repos you need to install [alhp-keyring](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/alhp-keyring/)
|
|
and [alhp-mirrorlist](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/alhp-mirrorlist/) from **AUR** and modify `/etc/pacman.conf`
|
|
to add them above your regular repos.
|
|
|
|
### Choose a mirror (optional)
|
|
|
|
Edit `/etc/pacman.d/alhp-mirrorlist` and comment out/in mirrors you want to have enabled/disabled. Per default selected
|
|
is a cloudflare-based mirror which
|
|
[*should* provide decent speed worldwide](https://git.harting.dev/ALHP/ALHP.GO/issues/38#issuecomment-891).
|
|
> Note: Only `alhp.harting.dev` is hosted by ALHP directly. If you have problems with one mirror,
|
|
> open an issue at [ALHP mirrorlist](https://git.harting.dev/ALHP/alhp-mirrorlist)
|
|
|
|
### Modify /etc/pacman.conf
|
|
|
|
Add the appropriate repos **above** your regular Archlinux repos.
|
|
|
|
Example for `x86-64-v3`
|
|
|
|
```editorconfig
|
|
[core-x86-64-v3]
|
|
Include = /etc/pacman.d/alhp-mirrorlist
|
|
|
|
[extra-x86-64-v3]
|
|
Include = /etc/pacman.d/alhp-mirrorlist
|
|
|
|
[community-x86-64-v3]
|
|
Include = /etc/pacman.d/alhp-mirrorlist
|
|
|
|
[core]
|
|
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
|
|
|
|
[extra]
|
|
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
|
|
|
|
[community]
|
|
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `x86-64-v3` with your x86-64 feature level.
|
|
> ALHP only builds for `x86-64-v3` at the moment (list is subject to change). You can see all available repositories
|
|
> [here](https://alhp.harting.dev/).
|
|
|
|
Update package database and upgrade:
|
|
```
|
|
pacman -Suy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Remove Repos
|
|
|
|
To disable ALHP remove all *x86-64-vX* entries in `/etc/pacman.conf` and remove `alhp-keyring` and `alhp-mirrorlist`.
|
|
|
|
After that you can refresh pacmans databases and downgrade all packages like:
|
|
```
|
|
pacman -Suuy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Package eligibility
|
|
|
|
Packages [excluded](https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/oflged/alhp_archlinux_recompiled_for_x8664v3_experimental/h4fkinu?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
|
|
from building (besides all 'any' architecture packages) are being listed in issue #16.
|
|
Also [package status page](https://alhp.anonfunc.dev/packages.html).
|
|
|
|
## FAQ
|
|
|
|
### LTO
|
|
|
|
Enabled for all packages build after 04 Nov 2021 12:07:00
|
|
UTC. [More details.](https://git.harting.dev/anonfunc/ALHP.GO/issues/52)
|
|
LTO status is visible per package on the package status page.
|
|
|
|
### Linux Kernel
|
|
|
|
ALHP provides patched kernels (except `linux-zen`) that build with `-march=x86-64-vN`. Thanks to
|
|
[graysky](https://github.com/graysky2) for providing [these patches](https://github.com/graysky2/kernel_compiler_patch).
|
|
|
|
### Directly linked kernel modules
|
|
|
|
**Above-mentioned patching breaks all directly linked modules** like `nvidia` (not `nvidia-dkms`) or
|
|
`virtualbox-host-modules-arch` (not `virtualbox-host-dkms`). Their respective `dkms`-variant is not affected. This issue
|
|
is being tracked in #68, a solution is being worked on.
|
|
|
|
### Mirrors
|
|
|
|
You want to mirror ALHP? You are welcome to do
|
|
so, [see alhp-mirrorlist for how to become one](https://git.harting.dev/ALHP/alhp-mirrorlist#how-to-become-a-mirror).

## Donations
|
|
|
|
I appreciate any money you want to throw my way, but donations are strictly optional. Donations are primarily used to
|
|
pay for server costs. Also consider [donating to the **Archlinux Team**](https://archlinux.org/donate/), without their
|
|
work ALHP would not be possible.
