As 2.6.23 is now out, should we branch the 10.3 kernel tree from HEAD now? I think I'll be doing at least one more 2.6.22-stable release, which we should probably apply to the 10.3 kernel and push that out when it happens, but we should also work on moving on to 2.6.23.
Any thoughts?
Absolutely. I was going to branch it this week and try merging 2.6.23. I'd like to try to keep HEAD following mainline as closely as possible, even with no pending release. At the very least, it would be useful for handling bug reports so we can see if a particular bug has been solved in the next kernel cycle.
Jeff, could you rename also kernel-bigsmp to "kernel-pae", please?
It is not just a PAEd kernel, but also allows for a higher number of CPUs. That is the "big" in bigsmp.
I do know exactly this. We want to install this kernel by default on i386 since it allows us to use non-executable stack etc (a PAE feature). We tried with 10.3 but many user complained why their 1GB machine got a bigsmp kernel. And therefore my suggestion to change it, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
