Steps

  1. Find Ubuntu kernel with the same base version in https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel
  2. Rebase all the Asahi changes on top of that
  3. Copy debian.asahi-arm directory from old ubuntu asahi kernel to this newly merged one
  4. Update config as described in https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/kernel-configuration-in-ubuntu/35857
  5. Update debian/debian.env to point to debian.asahi-arm
  6. Build, see https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/how-to-build-your-own-ubuntu-concept-x-elite-kernel/49941 for some discussion on building kernels and config management

Kernel package for tag asahi-6.18.15-1

  1. Find Ubuntu kernel with version 6.18.x in https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel
    There is the "bridge-next" branch for resolute, which is based on 6.18.5: 
    git clone --single-branch -b bridge-next https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/resolute linux-ubuntu-resolute-bridge-next
  2. Rebase all the Asahi changes on top of that: 
    cd linux-ubuntu-resolute-bridge-next
git remote add asahi https://github.com/AsahiLinux/linux.git
git fetch asahi
git checkout -b ubuntu-asahi-6.18.15-1 asahi-6.18.15-1
git rebase -X ours bridge-next
  3. Fix security/apparmor/lsm.c: 
    diff --git a/security/apparmor/lsm.c b/security/apparmor/lsm.c

cd ../linux-ubuntu-resolute-bridge-next-6.18
cp -av ../linux-asahi-arm-6.17.0/debian.asahi-arm .
  5. Update debian/debian.env to point to debian.asahi-arm: 
    DEBIAN=debian.asahi-arm
  6. Update kernel major version in debian/debian.asahi-arm/variants: 
    -6.18
  7. (noble) Set Rust build tool paths in debian/debian.asahi-arm/rules.d/arm64.mk:

rustfmt = /usr/lib/rust-1.89/bin/rustfmt

  9. Update debian/debian.asahi-arm/dkms-versions: 
    zfs-linux 2.4.1-1ubuntu1 modulename=zfs debpath=pool/universe/z/%package%/zfs-dkms_%version%_all.deb arch=amd64 arch=arm64 arch=ppc64el arch=s390x rprovides=spl-modules rprovides=spl-dkms rprovides=zfs-modules rprovides=zfs-dkms

  10. Add changelog entry in debian.asahi-arm/changelog: 
    linux-asahi-arm (6.18.0-1001.1) noble; urgency=medium
