My idea is to be more conservative when the kernel is shipped to large number of users who do just 'zypper dup' and expect it to ~work. I hope that this will improve usability of a rolling distro in the long term People who want to test the .0 release could install from the Kernel:stable repository directly (I'll do that). When I'm aware of potential problems with new kernel, I'm also prepared to do a rollback to the last working kernel: setting up multiversion and keeping multiple kernels installed, bootloader points to the working kernel and I boot-once from the new one should any problems arise during boot. This excercise is natural to me because I work on kernel but I'm not expecting an average Factory user to set this up by default. The bad scenario I'd like to avoid is "I've updated Factory/kernel and it does not boot and I don't have a fallback". After such experience the users may leave Factory or just avoid updating kernel when there is a new release.
To avoid that we run > 80 tests on that kernel in openQA before factory is published. And we will add more over time. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
