Why file a bug for something that is already fixed in our repositories?
I asked on IRC last night about the CIFS mount problem before filing and got no useful feedback. The single terse response implied I should file a bug. The URL Kulow provided to get 37.2 no longer contained it when I tried to get it a few days later to try on other systems. I dup'd immediately before testing, and didn't get a fixed kernel from updates. Therefore I presumed a fix was not generally available, or some other problem was holding back general availability of 37.2, which I already knew had a fix that might need to be backported to 37.1. As a practical matter, and without subscribing to yet another high traffic mailing list, how's one supposed to know a particular fix made the transition from announcement to availability when it isn't yet in updates? I know there is a way, but I never remember it, which makes me wonder if it's practical. :-( Aside?: What's the story about http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-maintenance/ ?
If you want the latest kernel, you can always use the Kernel:stable
How does one decide whether that's appropriate to do? Maybe Kernel:stable should always be an enabled repo? Would that have a downside? If that's better than official release kernels, why not go beyond stable to head (or something else, so... many repos to choose from)?
or openSUSE:Tumbleweed repositories.
Tumbleweed still seems to still have kinks to be worked out, generally, and due to 11.3 to 11.4 base switch, so I've only one of those enabled as yet.
This update will push out to the main openSUSE:11.4 repository in a few weeks.

First I have to decide there's more to be gained that lost by replacing 11.2 with 11.4, and I haven't reached that point yet. What's worse, suspecting excess optimism on transitioning to systemd from sysvinit in a single devel cycle, I fear releasenext will be worse than 9.1, 10.1 & 10.3 were combined, and make post-11.4 Tumbleweed a new habit maybe better avoided. For me to get to 11.4 for a production box in the first place: 1-KDE3 has to work. I haven't tried KDE3 on any 11.4 system yet myself. I saw reports lately of significant missing function, but no reports of resolution, while KDE 4.6 continues to omit at least one function I refuse to live without https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158556 and has several annoyances I'd rather live without https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675370 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=262695 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260391 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229984 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=263562 2-Round tuit shortage has kept me from fully testing for retained ability to run different resolutions on :0 than on :1 and/or :2 using a single display. KMS has confounded the X/xrandr overhaul begun almost 3 years ago, which I avoid for a while longer if sticking to 11.2. 3-Unless https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=584493 gets fixed before I decide to decide, I'll be forced to use a vanilla kernel, but as yet I've found no summary of pros and cons of vanilla vs. release kernel. 4-the backup to my main production box on RAID1 with 11.4 release kernel is not shutting down reliably, mirroring reports I've seen of such trouble by others 5-nfs output from mount command no longer fits on one 128 character line 6-I'm not yet convinced https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=665720 is gone The only thing I actually expect to gain from 11.4, besides extended "support" life, is reliably working sound in 11.0 broke in 11.2, and I expect 11.4 to fix that. As bad as 11.4 looks to me based on the above list, releasenext looks uninviting, requiring significant learning of new ways to do things that have just worked since the beginning of my Linux experience under sysvinit; which means I'll need to goto 11.4 at some point probably before releasenext goes GA, and maybe better sooner than later. -- "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver."

If you're itching to run the latest kernel for a particular release, Kernel:$RELEASE (e.g. Kernel:openSUSE-11.4) is probably your best bet. It is synced up with the git repo at least daily and contains what will end up in the next update. Updates are snapshots of this repo. AFAIK, Kernel:stable tracks master and is the last state before I check in a new -RC. Jiri Slaby maintains it, and I'm not entirely sure if that's the case. Since 2.6.38 just went final, I guess we'll find out. :) So, it really depends on what you want. Currently, they're identical. openSUSE {11.5,12,whatever} will probably not be based on 2.6.38 as it's 8 months out and the typical kernel release cycle is 3 months. That means that when 2.6.39-rc2 is released, master will include it. openSUSE-11.4 will follow 2.6.37.x and Kernel:stable will follow 2.6.38.x. [CC'ing Jiri to confirm this is the case]

Tumbleweed still seems to still have kinks to be worked out, generally, and due to 11.3 to 11.4 base switch, so I've only one of those enabled as yet.

Yes, this is exactly how it works. I pushed 2.6.37.4 yesterday, will wait for Greg to suck this into the Tumbleweed and then I will bump it to .38.
So, it really depends on what you want. Currently, they're identical.
Yes the 11.4 branch is merged into the stable branch, however this will change shortly.
That means that when 2.6.39-rc2 is released, master will include it. openSUSE-11.4 will follow 2.6.37.x and Kernel:stable will follow 2.6.38.x.
Exactly.

Note that the kernels are tested before they get into the update repository. GIT snapshots are *not* tested anyhow extensively. regards, -- js suse labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Ah, the message was delayed, because I was not subscribed to the list. I noticed the merge in Tumbleweed, so I did the udpate few hours ago. K:stable GIT repo now contains .38 which will mirror to the k:stable OBS repo in the night. (I had to fix preload and systemtap once again before the kernel push proper. And it took some time :(.

Yes, this is exactly how it works. I pushed 2.6.37.4 yesterday, will wait for Greg to suck this into the Tumbleweed and then I will bump it to .38.
It's been building in Tumbleweed all day now and should be finished in a few hours.

Great, I'll see how that works out and switch Tumbleweed over to it in a few days if it all looks sane.

One more question here. Do we want master to follow a stable tree until the next -rc2 is released? Currently it is that: master=2.6.38 + suse patches stable=master+2.6.38.2 should it be now: master=2.6.38.2 + suse patches stable=master ? It's _no_ added work for me. Then it will be: master=2.6.39-rc2 + suse patches stable=the last master commit before -rc2 + latest stable-38. thanks, -- js suse labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

And bluetooth works just fine for me with 2.6.38-27-desktop.

Sounds like I should add bluez to tumbleweed as well :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

The bugreport says that updating bluez did not help. So I might just be lucky. I'll SR bluez again for tumbleweed if I think that there is something worth the updating. Right now there is quite some churn there, so there's a risk of breaking stuff. But once I find a worthy new feature or important bugfix, I'll submit bluez to Tumbleweed. If you feel you need it for whatever reason: FACTORY is usually up-to-date wrt. bluez, I'm usually submitting it within a day or two after release (after it passes my minimal smoke tests). -- Stefan Seyfried "Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I run on tumbleweed and BT works for me as well. I.e. I haven't updated bluez. I run on Gnome. So this is probably machine specific. thanks, -- js suse labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Hi,
I would like to get some feedback on updating from 2.6.37.1 to 2.6.37.2 at this point, so please give http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-11.4/openSUSE_Fac... a test on your hardware.
Greetings, Stephan
I updated to 2.6.37.2 from the above repository. Only problem I faced was that it complained about preload-kmp* package (depends on kernel version 2.6.37.1) which I had to remove. Other than that no new problem so far. I was hoping it would solve my problems documented in bug 675147, but apparently not.
