How well tested is this kernel before you put it into TW? It supposedly fixes this bug, but breaks what else? It should have been in Factory or kotd or some repo that is used by some people for some amount of time
It was in KOTD, I reported bugs against it, they got fixed.
Oh - I forgot: Additionally, 2.6.39 fixes that small XFS regression in 2.6.38.x which did not let disks spin down anymore :-)
Brian, maybe SLES is more suitable for your needs than Tumbleweed.
Actually I've been thinking more along the lines of arch. My problem with TW is that it is essentially a new distribution, but without the very non-trivial amount of thought and engineering that goes into a sensibly maintainable distribution. I think it's been ok for some people so far mostly by luck. Few users, few use cases/patterns, little time passed since TW started, so little difference yet in all the packages and the overall OS and integration between packages, between TW and the 11.3-11.4 it started from. But, the kernel package suitability question was answered , ah, suitably (sorry, had to), so, while just from looking at it and how it's been put together so far I still wouldn't touch it myself, I'm willing to be quiet for now and see what happens over time and be proven wrong. My point really wasn't to insult anyone, just to say what I see. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
