[opensuse-kernel] 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 nightly snapshots of the current upstream development kernel (Linus' kernel tree linux-2.6.git) 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/ To install and use the vanilla kernel you might need to update some of your user-space tools as well (like udev etc.). If you are running the latest openSUSE Developer Version (aka Factory) you should already have the correct version of tools installed. 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. If you want to report problems with the RPMs itself or have general questions about the Kernel:Vanilla project use the opensuse-kernel@opensuse.org mailing list.
