Is there a statement of policy somewhere regarding Factory kernel update frequency and/or selection? The reason I ask is my recollection is Factory kernel updates historically have been rather few and far between. Currently it has 3.8.2. Fedora 18 IIRC was released about 4 months ago, which I did updates on yesterday, which replaced 3.8.4 with 3.8.8, while Rawhide is on a 3.9.0.rc7. I'm not complaining about Factory, just a little baffled. I do know about 3.8.8 being in Kernel:stable.

There's no set policy. Factory typically gets whatever kernel is in Kernel:HEAD (git master). There may be a period where it receives -stable updates but this really only applies until I merge the next -rc2 release. If that builds properly, then I'll push it to Factory. Unfortunately, in this cycle, there have been build failures that still need fixing (from mainline, not our patches in most cases). Once those are cleared up, I'll push 3.9-rc8 to Factory. -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
