Just curious if there are any plans on switching to 2.6.23 kernel for OpenSUSE 10.3? If it's too late to change the kernel, then maybe a -CFS or/and -SD patched flavors can be released through BuildService. I just think it'll be beneficial for an already great Linux distribution. Thanks, Ildar. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

Hi Ildar - I'm the kernel release manager for openSUSE 10.3. We have no plans to ship 2.6.23 at present. 10.3 is about to enter the beta phase of development. Updating the kernel version would be far too invasive and, more importantly, invalidate any of the valuable QA work that SUSE teams and the alpha testers out there have already performed. As usual, we'll end up backporting fixes and small feature, but it's just too late to jump another version. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGsCVVLPWxlyuTD7IRAlZeAJ4qCV24a5eeMJDm9Zhnn6ieWuDwPACgjSW9 w7WLEuTMB8XoVjyAaf/KZg8= =Nju2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

At OLS 2007 there was talk of how can we can achieve better coverage of the latest RC branch kernel or even the latest mainline release for that matter. Would there be any support from openSUSE to keep a kernel in the repository which is just the latest vanilla RC release as an unsupported RPM? This way the brave could easily test the RC releases and know if there is a problem they should go to lkml and not bugzilla.novell.com. You could even create the "Warning unsupported. Report bugs to the lkml" message with the current pop-up that conveys license information for RPMs. -Joachim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

I think we already have those types of kernels in the opensuse build system. Have you looked at: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/Vanilla/SUSE_Factory/ Hm, it seems like that isn't very up to date...

IIRC, Jan Blunck was managing those. I was about to respond saying this would be perfect for the Build Service, but wasn't sure about how to define it as a repo. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGsLikLPWxlyuTD7IRAu5yAJ0Vp+LyDH5gW6jStTN/BRlhiyeK9wCfSGLS 3+82a30WIAD5DA6mcTYeMJE= =/K9F -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

Wow I never saw this repository. It is exactly what I was talking about above except for being in a separate repository. How is this made known to the public? There was no reference to it at opensuse.org that I could find. Perhaps it should go here http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Repositories Just seams if it is hidden, then there won't be much coverage either. I would think putting it in the default repository would be the way to get the most eyes to look at it even if it is not installed by default. -Joachim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
