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.
I hope that i586 support is not dropped by openSUSE as I have 3 32-bit systems running openSUSE 12.3 or 13.1.
Same here, I still have 2 32-bit x86 machines I use daily, and a few old laptops I may revive for testing or special tasks. So I hope openSUSE will keep the i386 kernels for several years. At least until 2016 or even 2018, remember that 32-bit x86 machines have been sold until 2008! We may not have to keep all the flavors though. I suppose some of them like ec2 or xen can go away if they are no longer needed, and trace, debug and vanilla are not mandatory either if the user base shrinks. And then I suppose we can keep only one or two of desktop, default and pae. As long as I have one kernel which can boot all my old machines with decent performance, I'm happy. -- Jean Delvare Suse L3 Support -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
