Can we have two parallel kernel versions for some time? Just to allow the user to temporarily revert to the 3.16 if 3.17 just doesn't boot on his hardware.
Mat I send to back to read zypp.conf inside the distribution how to have several flavors of kernel (and kernel-devel) installed.
Work great, and should be the default since 12.3 ...
Matwey has helped us a great deal in keeping ARM Kernel:HEAD building and working, so I'm sure he knows how to install kernels. ;) I'm rather interpreting his question as: can both series be maintained in parallel for users to choose, which takes us back to A. more maintenance work.
Well, in that case, we don't maintain the old kernel, so no longer burden here. If the new kernel is broken, we fix the new kernel. IIRC, the openSUSE update repo contains each released package. So user can take back to the old versions at any time. Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
