The way initrds get clobbered now, what point is there to enabling multiversion for kernels?
Is it better to have binaries match in a clobbering initrd that won't boot the system? I think not.
And how do you know forehand if the new binaries break or fix the system?
Again, this is about behavior when multiversion is enabled for kernels.
What ain't broke don't need fixin.
It may need fixing. Think new glibc that needs new kernel. Now you update the kernel, but not the initrd's libc, kaboom. I'm not that knowledgeable about libc, so maybe this particular case isn't an issue. But the idea is that binaries and kernel may need to match, and if you don't update the initrd, the system could also break. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
