Hi all -
One of the things I'd like to consider for openSUSE 13.1 is changing the naming scheme to include the release in the uname -r output so that when there is a version collision between openSUSE and SLES, we can tell the difference. I've introduced a similar proposal for the naming change to the SLES kernels, so this isn't a case of making the distinction only with openSUSE.
So instead of:
3.7.10-1.11-default
We could have:
3.7.10-1.11.oS12.3-default
I suppose the kernel release for Factory would be: 3.7.10-1.11.oSF-default
And what about tumbleweed, which just takes directly from Kernel:Stable? Will you do this for all targets the kernel builds on? If so, that doesn't make much sense, as the kernel package is pretty independant of the different releases. The fact that you just happen to use the same kernel version number for SLES and openSUSE, doesn't mean you should put that in the version number, it will show up in the rpm metadata. Unless this is going to change for all packages in SLES I don't see the benefit for openSUSE. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
