These are the instructions to customize the linux-git package compilation in case using the current Linux mainline is not desired: * How to customize the git remote / branch: If a previous linux-git installation exists, please consult and edit the file /etc/linux-git/remote, otherwise use the file ./remote included in this AUR package. * How to add user-customized config options: If a previous linux-git installation exists, please consult and edit the file /etc/linux-git/config, otherwise use the file ./config.user included in this AUR package. * How to add extra patches on top of the selected remote / branch: If a previous linux-git installation exists, please consult and edit the file /etc/linux-git/patches/patches. If not, you can add the patches directly to the src/linux-torvalds/ git source. After compilation and installation, you can copy the patches to the directory /etc/linux-git/patches and follow the instructions included on /etc/linux-git/patches/patches file. Set env variable IGNORE_USER_CUSTOM to build package ignoring current customizations in place: $ IGNORE_USER_CUSTOM=1 makepkg
