[opensuse-kernel] [PATCH] rpm/find-requires: only do KMP dependency generation if there are KMPs
by Stefan Brüns 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

If *-kmp-modules does not exist, shortcut the dependency generation, and avoid spamming the buildlog. --- rpm/find-requires | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/rpm/find-requires b/rpm/find-requires index a656f2b4d0..2d6ac6166f 100644 --- a/rpm/find-requires +++ b/rpm/find-requires @@ -10,6 +10,14 @@ package_name=$1 version_release=$2 builddir=$3 +shopt -s nullglob + +kmpmodules="$builddir"/*-kmp-modules +if test -z $kmpmodules; then + cat | /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires "$package_name" + exit $? +fi + trap 'rm -f "$filelist"' EXIT filelist=$(mktemp -t ${0##*/}.XXXXXXXXXX) cat >"$filelist" -- 2.11.0 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kernel] openSUSE Leap 42.3 Kernel: SLE12-SP3 or not?
by Takashi Iwai 31 Jan '17

Hi, as we've started the development of openSUSE Leap 42.3, this question seems mandatory: Should we - A) use a kernel based on SLE12-SP3 (4.4.x), or - B) fork an own branch based on 4.9.x? The former is the way we did for openSUSE Leap 42.2. We keep the same code base as SLE12-SP2 while applying a slightly different kernel configs. This gives more test coverage by SUSE and other 3rd parties, and also much easier maintenance for security and other fixes. Meanwhile, the latter is like what we did for openSUSE Leap 42.1. It has own branch based on the upstream stable tree. 4.9.x is supposed to be a LTS branch, so we can take it. This would require higher maintenance cost, and maybe receive less bug fixes from our side, in the end. The biggest concern by (A) is that it's based on the 4.4.x kernel. It's rock solid, but it's old. It'll get fewer upstream stable updates later. Although SLE12-SP3 will cover some of new hardware (like Intel Kabylake platforms), it won't give the full list of new hardware in the market. 4.9.x covers a bit more than that. You might think 4.9.x will be also old enough at the time of Leap 42.3 release. Right. If we really want to track a newer stuff, another alternative is - C) keep rolling until the next LTS kernel is released, then stick with LTS kernel. The demerit of this method is, however, that you'll loose kABI compatibility until fixed with LTS, thus every KMP must be rebuilt before releasing the kernel update. So I find it a bit messy. If you want a rolling update, you can use TW, after all. But I'm open for this option, too. We might have a luck with the release date of LTS kernel. Any comments, opinions and suggestions are appreciated. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner(a)opensuse.org
