Hi,
as part of project Evergreen we will have to release security updates for the Linux kernel shipped with 11.1 which is 2.6.27.x and apparently the branch SLE11_BRANCH of the kernel-source repo. So we would like to use this as a base to create packages. The question right now is what will happen with that branch from your side?
Will someone touch it again once or is it just a dead branch for you? I'm just wondering if we should clone it or if the branch will be used still?
For regular updates, the branch is essentially dead. We do have long term support contracts for various individual releases but the updates are on-demand from the customers carrying those contracts. That said, noting Greg's response, we still have the infrastructure in place in OBS to keep automatically building and publishing these without much developer effort. Changes to the repo will still get pushed to the Kernel:SLE11_BRANCH project. It might be worthwhile to set up an "Evergreen" OBS project (if there isn't one already), link to the Kernel:SLE11_BRANCH project, and just add something that indicates that the kernel is supported by that project and not openSUSE in general. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk0jhlwACgkQLPWxlyuTD7J61QCdENv8TGbOiowYrp4MiecEFgji DkEAn1/fiMWHuP5w34T0rU9rUkYO7BVk =0YYK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
