Qubes package for Linux kernel

Building release candidate kernels

  1. Write kernel version into version file, for example 6.0-rc7.
  2. Write hash of linux-*.tar file (the uncompressed source tarball) into linux-*.tar.sha256 file.
  3. Comment out "normal" tarball section in .qubesbuilder and uncomment the one for rc kernel.

As for getting the trustworthy tarball hash, it can be via signed git tag:

version=6.0-rc7
git clone -n --depth=1 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git -b v$version linux-rc
cd linux-rc
git verify-tag v$version
# should be signed by Linus, you can find key in kernel.org-1-key.asc
git archive --prefix=linux-$version/ v$version | sha256sum
