The current kernel for SUSE 10.1 on BS is 2.6.16.13-4, while the most recent kernel it is 2.6.16.21-0.25.
IIRC this is due to the fact that we wanted every package built for 10.1 to be able to run on any version of 10.1 -- therefore no online updates have been pushed into the Build Service 10.1 target (yet). However, I'd put this up for reconsideration.
Well, for any other packages except KMPs it shouldn't make any difference because online updates shouldn't break the API or ABI.
But for KMPs, it makes building KMPs in the BS completely useless IMO if they're not built against the latest update kernel. Kernel update fix security updates, and having KMPs only for the kernel which is shipped on CD may bring users to run a non-updated kernel only to have a driver available. That's not good.
That is right, the kernel is an exception. So we need in future also an extra $distro+$updates repositories, where package such special packages can be build against. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
