You have old version latest is linux-cacule 5.12-8
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-cacule/
Yeah, that's why I wanted to compile it in the first place.

Do you have all needs to create kernel build in your system?
Already did that. Same problem. Updated+rebooted several times.
Well I built it before, it just refuses to do it now.

It’s after an update with Cacule from Chaotic-AUR, so that’s why it’s recent

To find out if its really a problem with checksums do the following:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/linux-cacule.git
cd linux-cacule
makepkg
if this fails update the checksums yourself:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/linux-cacule.git
cd linux-cacule
updpksums # needs pacman-contrib installed
makepkg

It’s building for now, but I guess i should update checksums anyway
even after updating the checksums this way the same error. Maybe it's paru's fault after all 
Edit: yep, paru is the problem. Pacaur didn't complain. Also it's smaller. So friendship ended with paru, now pacaur is my best friend

A little off topic, but you may be able to improve your wifi performance if it isn’t too old of an adapter. Feel free to open a post in the networking sub-forum if you’d like me to try to help improve your wifi performance (if possible).

Why paru for compiling kernel? I compile kernel with following way
cd linux-cacule
makepkg -si
I believe this is a pure straight way to compile anything on Arch-based distro.

Well, for the same reason I use AUR helper at all - convenience. I want my packages to be updated by a single command
Kernel is the one thing what should be updated manually, if you want to use your compiled kernel with maximum effective.
Well, I want it to be compiled. But if the only thing I need to do to compile it is make a set of repeated commands, why shouldn't it be automated?
Your building the wrong aur package. you need to use from aur the linux-cacule package and not the linux-cacule-garuda one. That was a testing package. i try to remove it so their a no complications.
All checksums are running and working. i only update the aur package if everything is running and tested complety.

yeah, that's clearly a paru's fault.
I have a surprisingly long shutdown if I use my PC for a while with cacule. Whereas tkg and zen always had an instantaneous one. Maybe it's my fault, as I heavily customize my system
I currently use linux-cacule 5.12-8 + /etc/sysctl.d/99-cacule.conf at work on ThinkPad Edge E540 - Intel Core i5-4210M, I feels like on SSD, but i have HDD. Everything smooth i can handle more Firefox tabs and Google meet. It's better than linux-tkg-bmq-haswell.
I'm really suprised with that!

Cacule 5.12.1-1 Changes:
- Updated to new Kernel version 5.12.1
- Cacule patched got updated, autogroup will be foreced now)
The new update (Generic) is already updated into the chaotic-aur. The Skylake Build you will find them here:
https://ptr1337.dev/?dir=Kernels/Intel%20Skylake
Testing new patches
Right now im testing the new lru-patchesv3, futex2 patches and btrfs-v2 patches.
If everything is running good, they will be updated the comming days, or with the new Kernel update.

Just compiled it successfully on my own machine 
Is there anything I need to know besides adding IgnorePkg = linux-cacule linux-cacule-headers to /etc/pacman.conf?
How often do you recommend updating if I keep using this kernel in this fashion?
2 Likes
It depends on yourself. If you want to use every Kernel update like 5.12.1 then 5.12.2 ,... then i recommend to update it everytime i update the aur.
Also if there any bugfixes, patch updates ill recommend also to update built the kernel.
When GCC11 gets finally released from the upstream packages (archlinux), it will be much easier to share packages when they compiled with the "Genericv3", which includes most modern processors and the performance difference is not that much then your native cpu.
The performance difference between Generic Kernels and "architecture xyz" is definitely are difference.
You can also add following to your /etc/makepkg.conf:
MAKEFLAGS="-j$(nproc)"
This command will automatically detect how much cpu cores you got and will compile with all your cpu cores.
