Yes, and I never claimed something else. And given the responses to my initiative up to now I'm inclined to stop my efforts asap. It's not fun (and not possible) to drive this a one man show so apparently noone out there needs it. I also don't need it just for my private little dedicated server. I can and should just use CentOS. I was thinking there is a gap in our offers and we would find people to join in. That wasn't the case yet and I still wanted to start the experiment with 11.1 and would never recommend to people to use it but given they have nothing from now on but are also not able to switch everything was better than nothing. So yes, your comment was rather motivating to me :-(
Wolfgang,
Remember I volunteered to be part of the Evergreen kernel team if you moved to the 2.6.32 kernel.
Yes, thanks for that. But here it starts to get interesting already. Could we move to 2.6.32 without breaking systems? At least one guy mentioned that only 2.6.27 works for him. (I'm probably affected too since my remaining 11.1 system is Xen based and a pretty old Xen host. I haven't checked why exactly but I know 11.2 is not running on that host). That's why there was no initiative to update to 2.6.32 yet.
I certainly hope so. That's the kernel that SLE11 SP1 is based on and we put quite a lot of work into addressing problems before we released it.
And I assume if we have issues using the SLE11 SP1 kernel for whatever reason, we could call on the resources of the Novell kernel team since it is the kernel they are formally supporting.
I wouldn't say "call on the resources," but the community maintenance load would certainly be lessened in the same way it always is when openSUSE uses a SLE kernel as a release.
I assume XEN would be one of the environments SLE11 SP1 already supports. In fact I expect the SLE11 SP1 kernel has better XEN support today than the 11.2 kernel as released 14 or 15 months ago.
As to that one user, he had a specific piece of hardware if I recall correctly. I'm not sure that one user can drive the core Evergreen kernel choice. Especially as it appears that you currently have no one to provide LTS support for the older kernel.
If and when you want me to try to build a SLE11 SP1 based kernel for Evergreen, let me know. (If its not a real consideration, don't feel the need to send me off on a wild goose chase.)
No, all that really needs to happen for that is for a Kernel:SLE11SP1 project to be created. I'm actually surprised that it doesn't exist already. Michal, could you take care of that when you get a moment?
