Wow I never saw this repository. It is exactly what I was talking about above except for being in a separate repository. How is this made known to the public? There was no reference to it at opensuse.org that I could find. Perhaps it should go here http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Repositories
Just seams if it is hidden, then there won't be much coverage either. I would think putting it in the default repository would be the way to get the most eyes to look at it even if it is not installed by default.
If somebody drafts a nice post, I'll publish it on news.opensuse.org ;-)
Should I announce this on kernel-packagers or a similar list. What do you think? Although this fits more in the responsibilities of the kernel teamleads.
Since I have not seen any announcement, what do you think of the following? I would put it on news.opensuse.org. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Testing the Current Upstream Kernel Andrew Morton has spoken at different occasions about testing of the Linux kernel and asked users to test the current development version and report their findings. For our openSUSE releases we have in general a frozen version and add only fixes for bugs that are encountered during testing - but stay with the same version for the lifetime of a release. With our openSUSE Build Service we build a daily kernel, where we take the current upstream development kernel without any patches (besides those we need for building a RPM). We do call this the vanilla kernel. It can be downloaded from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/Vanilla/SUSE_Factory/ Btw. if you test the vanilla kernel, report any problems to the Linux kernel mailing list (for details check the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/) and not to the openSUSE bugzilla. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform/openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
