Hello,
at SUSE, we are currently discussing the future of merging releases from -stable kernel tree[1] into SLE. There is a fear of regressions caused in the enterprise distribution as well as a fear of high patch count which in most cases cannot be reviewed properly with our power.
I would like to know your opinion about merging -stable kernels into *openSUSE*.
This should probably be posted to the project list. The membership of this list tends not to share views on kernel development that the opensuse community at large may have. - -Jeff
This means: * do you prefer to stay with the latest stable kernel released at the time an opensuse distro becomes available? (And then only single fixes for reported bugs are merged.) Or should be -stable releases incorporated as soon as they are out (or later). * Regarding the parentheses, would you prefer some time to pass before a -stable kernel is committed to a particular openSUSE kernel? * Did you hit some regression caused by stable releases (this is rather information for me personally). If so, how often?
Note that Kernel:stable (and Tumbleweed) will be *unaffected* by the result of this thread. It will still follow the latest stable upstream release as soon as possible.
Opinions welcome.
[1] The releases numbered by the third numbers after major release numbers, e.g. 3.2.1 or 3.2.2.
thanks,
