Did Megous github repos go away? If so, update configs/kernel-xeon.cfg
100%
Description
Looking up the kernel repo on github came up emptry:
https://github.com/megous/linux.gitHis personal repo is still active:
https://megous.com/git/linux/about/?h=orange-pi-6.6There are no orange-pi branches from kernel.org, so if it's hard to tell if it's been mainlined.

Megi's kernel can't be cloned (see message below if you try) but can be rebuilt from the upstream kernel.org source and some bundles from Megi's site.

Fortunately, the version of the github repo I was using is mirrored for Manjaro. So I'm creating a mirror of that on my Gogs server and am switching to using that for now. Alternatively, I could clone Linus' tree and apply the bundles as described by Megi.

The manjaro mirror works (at least it builds - the build needs to be tested on hardware). I've mirrored the Manjaro repo on Gogs.
A completed build using the Manjaro repo is available in my xeon2 sandbox.

The Manjaro mirror worked on the Xeon build. What I need to do now is provide a mechanism to produce Megi's kernel from his patches plus the upstream and make that a build option. I also need to point to my Gogs mirror of the Manjaro repo but keep a reference to the Manjaro repo in the build scripts.
In this way I have multiple locations to find a working kernel.

I added references to the various bits in the configs/kernel-xeon.cfg file. There is no code to rebuild from Megous git bundles plus upstream kernel, but I can add that later.
Code committed and pushed.
Closing issue.
