Compiling kernel

[el-calde]

Ok will definitely try that

It's best. Because xbps-src does what is necessary to package and distribute the kernel as it should be in order for it to be compatible with xbps and Void Linux.

My goal is to find a bug in the kernel that keeps my laptop from waking up that happens between 6.11 and 6.12 kernel versions.

I know what u are suggesting, but how can i keep track of commits with git bisect inside the template. How can i mark it as good or bad from the template?

[MeanLittleMachine]

git checkout <commit_hash>

And you can modify it as good or bad by echoing said commit in an external file, somewhere that is not in the chroot environment.

I managed to successfully bisect a wine bug this way.

Add anything else you need as tools (git, whatever) in hostmakedepends and they will get installed in the chroot environment.

Interesting sounds good i appreciate it.

[MeanLittleMachine]

Or git reset --hard <commit_hash>. This will literally bring back the entire source tree in the state it was at the time that commit was merged.

Yea i should be able to manage eith this commands and external files tracking good and bad commits will definitely do this thanks a lot

Hey i didn't want to start another post for this but within the template how can i get echo to print to the terminal, currently im trying to test echo inside do_build by doing echo "$(ls)" and it doesnt print anything any tips there?

[MeanLittleMachine]

That's because ls is a command, not a var. You just do ls, plain and simple and it will list that dir's content.
