Hi,
Since 3.11.y maintenance was discontinued by Greg, Ubuntu took over it. It made me wonder: are we willing to continue 3.11.y for openSUSE 13.1 updates, just relying on Ubuntu? Or, can we just move on 3.12.y?
Has the precedence been set of changing version of the kernel after release, I don't remember it happening in the past?
You should check with the Evergreen team, but I believe they change the kernel out to align with the next newer SLES kernel. So if you consider evergreen as part of openSUSE, then yes openSUSE has done kernel version changes in the past.
(I haven't fully kept up with this, the kernel upgrade may be an optional feature of Evergreen and not all users are upgraded.)
Its a Evergreen Feature.
This of course could be considerd for 13.1, to align with the SLE12 kernel.
Ciao, Marcus
My google-foo is failing me. When is SLE12 expected to release? And with what kernel?
Second half of 2014.
Not sure I am allowed to tell the kernel version yet. But it is similar to the product version.
Yeah, you are. :) The branch is already public. It's based on 3.12. Using the SLE12 branch directly may be tricky since there are different architecture targets for openSUSE and SLES. Unfortunately, those are details I can't get into just yet. I can share that we are not building 32-bit kernels for any architecture, so a SLE12 kernel used on openSUSE will have zero i586 testing performed on it as part of the SLE testing matrix. While I certainly wouldn't mind it happening, I don't know of any openSUSE plans to drop i586 support just yet. -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs
