I do not think it is grub problem. We have 3.10.0-rc and 3.10.0-1. Now there is no reason to prefer one sort order to another in general and grub has no way to know it is release candidate. I would say having something like 3.10.0-0.rcXX for a RC versions would solve this problem. Also did it ever happen during updates between released versions (not between internal Factory releases)? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Its just one more function before you do a sort, in memory perhaps. I would say that I do not expect RC numbers ahead of a final release and I don't expect Kernel.org to rename the kernel versions for grub 2, but who knows I guess. As always, I appreciate your consideration and thank you for your time looking at this issue.

People would stick with older kernel with each final release and that is something we really don't want to happen :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

That leaves: $ ls /lib/modules/| /usr/lib/rpm/rpmsort -r 3.16.0-rc7-2-xen 3.16.0-rc7-2-desktop 3.16.0-rc7-2-default 3.16.0-default If I modify 3.16.0-default to 3.16.0-0-default, I get: 3.16.0-0-default 3.16.0-rc7-2-xen 3.16.0-rc7-2-desktop 3.16.0-rc7-2-default But what number gets substituted there? Once we release an official kernel, the self-built kernel still gets sorted after all of them. Since we don't actually support self-built kernels, maybe the answer is to add the ability (disabled by default) to sort by timestamp. Fortunately, that's easy: version_find_latest_by_timestamp () { lc -c "$@"|head -n1 } -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

And it seems this is what grub2 in Factory actually does. So we are not changing the kernel package numbering. But I like Jeff's approach more. "Boot the most recently installed kernel" is what everyone actually wants. For most people, this is equivalent to "boot the kernel with the highest version number", but it also serves the use cases with deliberately installing an old kernel or using a slightly different numbering scheme (like a final release without the .0). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
