Hi,
Since 3.11.y maintenance was discontinued by Greg, Ubuntu took over it. It made me wonder: are we willing to continue 3.11.y for openSUSE 13.1 updates, just relying on Ubuntu? Or, can we just move on 3.12.y?
Has the precedence been set of changing version of the kernel after release, I don't remember it happening in the past?
You should check with the Evergreen team, but I believe they change the kernel out to align with the next newer SLES kernel. So if you consider evergreen as part of openSUSE, then yes openSUSE has done kernel version changes in the past.
(I haven't fully kept up with this, the kernel upgrade may be an optional feature of Evergreen and not all users are upgraded.)
Its a Evergreen Feature.
This of course could be considerd for 13.1, to align with the SLE12 kernel.
Ciao, Marcus
My google-foo is failing me. When is SLE12 expected to release? And with what kernel? And since 13.1 is already designated as a Evergreen supported release, one could argue that updating the kernel to match a SLES kernel is being done to align with 13.1's Evergreen designation. It certainly seems it would lighten the load on the evergreen team to have 13.1 already at the LTS kernel level they prefer. Clearly, I vote for updating the 13.1 kernel to align with Evergreen's needs at some point in the next 18 months.
