You also have to consider that SUSE is currently considering the possibility of not backporting fixes/features but actually changing the Kernel version they use in SLE 12 SP2 (assuming they can maintain API/ABI stability of course), so in our case with openSUSE we'd only have this kernel for about a year.. well maintained, with hardware enablement, and proper security patches.. sure if people can raise actual legitimate problems, I'm happy to hear them but I would prefer if the discussion continued on the basis of facts, not peoples theories about what does or doesn't work in the SLE codebase we now get to play with ;)

Hi The only thing I've had to compile for the kernel was the it87 module for SLES 12, it is present for SLED 12...
This means it is part of kernel-*-extra package (which is only available on SLED and not on SLES).
My proposal would be for an openSUSE kernel based on SLE kernel, we could have a single kernel package which would include the content on kernel + kernel-extra (if kernel team is fine with that)..
Converging would be nice, but I had the impression that (at least with sles) the kernel is lagging very much? I remember once hearing (could be mistaken) that @maxfeld, they had to backport all sorts of recent kernel-bugfixes to ancient sles-kernels.... hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
