I admire your work.

You have the passion for this distro that the team lacks, the kind that can keep us afloat. Just want to say I am keeping an eye on the work you're doing and I notice and appreciate it and am doing what I can to get the team to open their eyes, help is right here and they're turning their backs on it. It is not cool at all. Just a reminder. This is all open source software. You can do whatever you want. Maintain a zen package. Fix the distro for them since they won't. In a perfect world folk like you would fork Solus themselves and make the perfect distro. I'll stay tuned.

Thank you for those words. But here is a normal kernel, for zen I created a separate repository, where I thought within 24 hours to send already working configuration and eopkg files (since the solus team forbade me to do it on the forum).

I would be happy to create a separate fork of Solus, but alas, I do not have the knowledge to make it all work. Maybe in the future I will be able to do something. Thank you!

Hi, Remember me from solus forum. I appreciate the work you are doing. The outdated kernel is maybe the top 3 issues everyone talks about on solus reddit (or forum). I just hope that your work will encourage them to update the kernel officially too.

Are you going to modify the kernel with custom patches like from nobora-os or liquorix projects, or just provide raw kernel as a preview to its officially available from solus itself.

Can we have a build instructions please? This is my current situation

abhinav@abhinav-sol ~/Project/linux-zen $ sudo eopkg bi --ignore-safety ./pspec_x86_64.xml
Password:
Program terminated.
Unable to read Actions Script (/home/abhinav/Project/linux-zen/actions.py): [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/abhinav/Project/linux-zen/actions.py'
Please use 'eopkg help' for general help.

I have build some 3rd party packages before but this would be my first time even thinking about building a kernel. Some basic faq or things to watch out for would also be appreciated.

Thank you. About all sorts of modifications - I already have a repository with zen kernel, which I have successfully built and am currently using. I thought about building xanmod as well, but alas, it didn't work (although it did).

And about building - to start the process of building a kernel in the eopkg file you need to run the following command inside the repository:

ypkg ./package.yml

After that the build process will start automatically. There is a config file in the files folder - this is the kernel build config, you can edit it to change the build parameters. There is also a file series in the files folder, which lists all the patches that apply to the kernel.
