Why not have a different repo for this? Other distros have a "volatile" repo for fast changes, why not offer that as an option... Something between the release and FACTORY. -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney (mobile) SUSE Labs On Jun 19, 2008, at 8:27 PM, Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de> wrote:

Hi!
Just a quick FYI that after the 11.0 branch announcement, the HEAD kernel has been rebased to 2.6.26-rc5-git5. Updates will be ongoing.
Thanks a lot for doing this.
Once 11.0 is officially released, this will be updated as the FACTORY kernel. Until then, packages will be available via the KOTD site at http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/HEAD/
I'm considering what would be involved in updating the version that is in the "normal" 11.0 update repos to 2.6.26, when it is out and we seem to have tested it pretty well in FACTORY. It would be nice to offer this for the increased number of bug fixes, and new hardware support. But it would be something new from what we have done before, and I don't know how people would react to it.
Any opinions?
I believe it is 'too dangerous'. We tested 2.6.25 in betas and rcs, while 2.6.26 would be just dumped to users.
With some testing first of course :)
OTOH, having easy way of installing 2.6.26 _in addition_ to 2.6.25 kernel would be nice ...
I guess adding 2.6.26 into boot menu as an non-default option by update would be acceptable compromise?
That sounds fine to me.
