How to install the Hardened LTS Linux Kernel, i.e. 6.12.x or 6.6.x

I was going through the repositories of Artix and I noticed that there are no LTS Hardened Linux Kernel based on the 6.12.x or 6.6.x branch. There is a LTS kernel, based on 6.12 but no LTS 6.6.x branch. The existing Hardened Kernel is based on 6.15.x branch and not the mainline Linux Kernel branch, i.e. 6.16.x

How do I install the LTS Hardened Kernel which is based on 6.12.x or 6.6.x branch?

I'm not a user of the hardened kernel, but I think that you will probably find the older package repositories useful.

I checked on the repo but I don't see an hardened-lts (I assume that's what you're implying.).

Yeah, I did not find any Linux Hardened LTS Kernel in the repositories. The only one that I could locate was Hardened Linux 6.15.x.

I was wondering if it would be possible to pull in the hardened Linux LTS Kernel from the arch repositories? Is there some guide that can be used for this?

To be honest, this is the first time I hear about linux-hardened-lts... I found it in AUR, but it's a bit broken and needs some editing.

I have checked the PKGBUILD directly from our repo. And checked on where it came from.

https://github.com/anthraxx/linux-hardened

Based on the versions provided by the releases section on github some do seem to use the LTS variants (in comparison to https://kernel.org/ lts release versions.
For example:
v6.12.43
v6.6.102
then compare it with the LTS release versions https://kernel.org/

It seems you will have to compile it yourself through the PKGBUILD by changing the pkgver variable and some of the hashes/checksums if you want the latest 6.6.x and 6.12.x hardened-lts versions).

Note: It might take you a few minutes to a couple hours depending on your processor and memory.
