But openSUSE 13.2 has never had frozen kabi apparently: $ git ls-tree origin/openSUSE-13.2 kabi/x86_64/ <nothing>
Which is intended as I was taught right now.
What has taught you so?
Michal Marek told me so.
And is this decision temporary or final?
Permanent. It allegedly does not warrant the burden. All KMPs are built to require exact kernel version instead of kabi version.
For 13.2? This is definitely not the case at least for nVidia RPMs (the only KMPs I have). We even had the case of broken and fixed kABI ...
Now, what am I to make of this?
Suppose I need to keep the ABI stable, would you still think the "extended stable" stuff should go in? Is it worth the effort?
It means we should select and take only reasonable ones, not blindly copy all. My understanding about kABI on openSUSE kernel is that we should try to keep it as much as possible, but it's never guaranteed like SLE. Most of kABI changes are easily fixable, fortunately. BTW, if you'll take patches, please create a bugzilla entry to track. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
