Doing test builds in xeon2 sandbox.
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.
remote: | Sorry, Linux GIT repository is too large for my puny little server. |
remote: | |
remote: | For efficicency purposes I distribute content of my repository via |
remote: | two GIT bundles available at https://xff.cz/kernels/git/ |
remote: | |
remote: | - https://xff.cz/kernels/git/orange-pi-active.bundle |
remote: | |
remote: | (Small ~10 MiB bundle containing actively supported branches) |
remote: | |
remote: | - https://xff.cz/kernels/git/orange-pi-history.bundle |
remote: | |
remote: | (Large ~150 MiB bundle containing all my releases back to March |
remote: | 2017, if you need to reference old code for whatever reason) |
remote: | |
remote: | To apply the bundle to your kernel repository, run: |
remote: | |
remote: | curl -o .bundle https://xff.cz/kernels/git/orange-pi-active.bundle |
remote: | git fetch .bundle '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/megi/*' |
remote: | |
remote: | The bundles depend on uptodate Linus Torvalds's GIT master branch. |
remote: | If you don't have a Linux repository, yet, you can clone it from: |
remote: |
remote: | git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
remote: |
remote: | Best of luck, ~megi |
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.
