Agreed. For those of us who don't use SuSE default kernels, it would be very convenient though if SuSE would provide the sources for the newer kernels, with all (suse-specific etc) modules included. I think a large part of this list is more than competent enough to build their kernel from those, and it would save people the hassle of grabbing up sources and modules from somewhere else.
This URL is not really official, but it used to be like this for years.
The absolutely latest that Hubert (Hubert Mantel, kernel maintainer at
SuSE, founder of SuSE and poor guy with this pile of work from my side)
does can always be found at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mantel/next/
as a tarball as well as a patch against the vanilla version of the kernel.
I'm running this kernel on my desktop machine as well as a few servers
that are under heavy load at times, and I haven't seen any hassle so far.
I have to ask a question to the list though, we could use some assistance.
New thread.
Thanks,
Roman.
