This makes me wonder if we still need the distinguishing -default suffix in the uname output for the default kernel. I mean, we can just set LOCALVERSION="" for that one, can we not? After all, it is now definitely the kernel with >50% installation share (since -desktop got absorbed). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org

We still have -debug and -vanilla and I think the differentiation from those two is still nice anyway. thanks, -- js suse labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org

It would also be a change for the sake of change. There certainly is a bunch of scripts that assume the current uname -r scheme and identifying and fixing these would not be trivial.

BTW: I like the current state because I often build test kernels using "make binrpm-pkg". It produces "kernel" package that could get installed using "rpm -Uvh" in parallel with official SUSE kernels. Note that "make binrpm-pkg" is an easy way how to do fast incremental builds. "rpm -Uvh" removes the previous test kernel but it keeps a working "kernel-default" as a fallback.
