Even with this model, it remains as an open question whether we switch to yet another kernel some time later. And when and which version. IMO, it depends on the release schedule, and we can pick up the latest LTS kernel at that time.
Well, gregkh mentioned 4.1 will be LTS, so let's get it on already.
I meant the status after that, say, in 2016 or 2017. Should we keep using 4.1.x?
My suggestion would be to evaluate which kernel makes sense for each release I don't think it makes sense to set out any hard rules at this point, lets keep Leap relatively flexible we know what we're trying to achieve so I don't think we have to worry too much about having all the answers for everything many years from now We know the SLE Kernel has concerns regarding current hardware right now, moving the Kernel to 4.1.x should resolve that for at least the next year, then we'll have 42.2 to worry about. If we start with Kernel 4.1.x for Leap 42.1 I can see the following options for 42.2 (These are listed in order of my personal preference) 1. Whatever Kernel is in SLE 12 SP2 (Yes, SUSE are considering upgrading the Kernel for SLE 12 SP2) 2. No Change from 42.1 - ie. Kernel 4.1.x (Assuming it is LTS) 3. Latest Stable/LTS Kernel 4. No Change from 42.1 - ie. Kernel 4.1.x (Even if it isn't LTS) I don't think we can make a decision as to which of those 4 options until we're much closer to 42.2. This order is the kind of matrix I'd likely also keep to for 42.3. I think it hits the balance between being conservative and stable and yet also moving the Kernel with the times at a sane and sensible pace. (and for 43.0 the concern is pointless, as we'd expect Tumbleweed's Kernel at that time) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
