Hi,
Please explain why e.g. KOTD head used from a normal leap 42.1 at the moment gave me some 4.6.0-3.1 or something a few days ago and today it likes me to upgrade it to 4.6.0-4.1 or something.
Why are there recompiles? Isnt the actual 4.6 kernel by the kernel.org folks finished? Arent any fixes coming to this kernel then called higher and later kernel versions e.g. 4.6.1 or something?
Or is there more to this than a mere recompile? Are there backports or fixes from .3-1 to .4-1? Where can I find about any of this and how this all fits together and the reasoning behind these procedures and happenings?
We apply patches on top of this kernel.
Or configuration changes like this recent one
