We did drop v2 intentionally... https://github.com/chaotic-aur/packages/issues/2242#issuecomment-2184600331 https://github.com/chaotic-aur/graveyard/issues/277

I dropped the v2 packages because of low usage, but high resource requirements to build. Majority of users should be using v2 or v3 kernels, but don't. Would be reasonable to bring back a v2 kernel if user awareness / usage could be improved.

The problem may be not knowing what v2/v3 refer to, but packages referring to specific instruction set still have low usage compared with the base package. Maybe something like -slow (v1), -fast (v2), -faster (v3), -fastest (v4) would work.

Current metrics: linux-xanmod = 2465 linux-xanmod-v3 = 97

I am confused, how can bin packages have a lot of processing for you? These packages are pre-made Please explain first.

If possible, please add the LTSx64v2 packages and its headers.

[xiota]

Kernel packages currently available on chaotic-aur are built from source. Unless there is some problem, packages that build from source are preferred over bin packages. Most bin packages can be made directly by users with minimal effort.

I'm still thinking about reintroducing a v2 kernel package, but would build from source.

If possible, please add the LTSx64v2 packages and its headers.

anyways Xanmod V1 looks depreciated shifting to V2 for lts and mainline would be a great decision.

Planning to reorganize linux-xanmod packages.

• linux-xanmod-edge-v3
• linux-xanmod-v2
• linux-xanmod-lts
• linux-xanmod-rt

May change v2/v3 suffices to something more descriptive, like x64v2/x64v3.

Rationale: Minimal benefit from providing multiple versions of each kernel because linux-xanmod-edge and linux-xanmod are out of sync for only about a month after kernel version is bumped. Users with "newer" hardware (v3) are more likely to benefit from latest kernel releases (edge). Users with old hardware (v1) are unlikely to benefit from newest kernel releases, so lts should be sufficient. Leaving rt kernel alone.
