[opensuse-kernel] Which kernel repository for Factory users?
Hi all, which kernel repository should I use if I want to run Factory? Surely, the openSUSE:Factory kernel is not advisable since it is old, never gets updated and does not even get security fixes. Kernel:HEAD is not really better. So it looks like I have to add Tumbleweed since that has a newer kernel than Factory and Kernel:HEAD (I'm wondering how this fits into Greg's "Factory first" rule ;). Is openSUSE:Tumbleweed the new devel repo for the kernel? -- Stefan Seyfried "Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org

Ok, that's not true. But why is it not just updated to 3.2.x so that everyone knows without going through the RPM changelog? That's what the stable series is for, isn't it? -- Stefan Seyfried "Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org

I asked two times on this list if I should commit stable releases to kernel:head. I got only one positive reply. It was from Michal Marek IIRC. I think, him and me is not enough to say yes for the whole community, so I'm still not committing the stable patches ;). If we could get an acknowledgement from Jeff Mahoney, a kernel:head maintainer, and also nobody complains, there will be nothing to prevent kernel:head to have the latest release. Anyway kernel:head will receive 3.3-rc2 in a few days, so it should not be an issue for the time being. Anyway two, you still can use kernel:stable in addition to kernel:head and/or factory. thanks, - -- js suse labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJPKXE8AAoJEL0lsQQGtHBJpeoP+gIfRWKVdMSgqtm/OXaQN3j+ 7znYpvZVDgr+Z2dxsHlElFAq1ikHSsVyFdMpBjEDTzmw4svCmsMkfMVDqOXDRByM uidZvH0V1cvGvidMopZZOU/GbyhUpWVfDnNSpvG5J0TgPCGrSYznZENT6UKkQEbs DtG+lBLe+pzIhhSsv5h+RtrpF+6f8vbteN7TRF8lXTLvjpfWNzYi8UoHY/ZgYFrZ cNulAS8zNxqkhXlUjtU1HTwc4ESiO2hbAPOEuLdCyI3thWQXqKkCWoihEmAz+ejp wCnllQfzfAv0so+lyZcIQOys/GBa2iwYnGfCss2+fWjlqrS2xyFB4KgVOpzx2G8q ZYF/mt4Iz9ZSK3BYD3suNh1GMlpo2stscuqy1BkRE8ZYPJk/hMRjNMvYfQfcGT7J LIBi4Ej/oKXCYgXUZtvPkWn6ShYwkD0Y6q7btmjiAhTWP7Z2UezO7K+aQ7/+/K67 Qiz0gwpPYIqReXMgxIFeC3Iuge5/cf7ROlNiXAaZxT4E/vkl60FTnY/RNj1R6QyY FJ7caVMPM0oClvLDcKvYc5PJtBL3Uj6T1mSPsMR8NQXsgsYoBvdN5AJ5Tm5qU7g3 u2T+M4IdXra6bn5GhawtAEqLeUsV1muL1S9sbbNGRWYfxfe1RyEBr7Zd6b7b3ava Ri33Y7h9Cirs+TT8vufL =oZ6T -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
