We use GitHub Release to publish the latest binary kernel and GPG siguature. The naming format is:

linux-[kernel version]-yeeloong-gaizi.tar.xz
linux-[kernel version]-yeeloong-gaizi.tar.xz.sig

Build from Source

First, I assume you have the knowledge on cross-compiling and related toolchains.
Download the mainline kernel of the same series as loongson-sources, without any patch level.

For example, if you want to build loongson-sources-3.15.3, you should download Linux 3.15.0 from kernel.org.

Copy patches directory to the root directory of the kernel.
Run the ./patches/patch-it shell script to patch the kernel.
copy ./patches/config to the root directory, rename it to .config
make (you should setup the cross-toolchains correctly)
You're done. You can use the ./patches/packaging.sh to generate a tarball if you want.
