Also keep in mind that some other packages depend on the kernel package. For example the nvidia binary driver. You may not like it (I don't...) but people are using it, and it is known that there is lag between every new kernel and its support by Nvidia. AFAIK 13.1 still doesn't have this driver available. Some users are probably waiting for availability before they switch to 13.1. When this happens, if the week after we change the kernel version and that breaks their graphics driver again, they will hate us.
They already hate us, for not having them available. But on that specific subject the good news is the 331.20 nvidia is compatible with 3.12x kernel. The package prepared by sndhirsh build at least. and people have reported success of using this nvidia version under 3.12 kernel branch. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
