[opensuse-kernel] Question: what are the differences of kernels in opensuse repositories
Hi to all, I'm using openSuSE 11.3 on a machine with xen. Have four machines inside: one is Dom-U and other three are virtual (two with openSuSE 11.3 and one with WinXP). I just installed the physical machine from distribution/11.3/repo/ repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_11.3/ and updated it from update/11.3/ Now my kernels, for all my machines are the same 2.6.34.7-0.7-xen #1 SMP 2010-12-13 11:13:53 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux later I included in the real machine (DomU) repositories repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-11.3/openSUSE_11.3/ to test the new ones available. I just discover (but can't confirm) that with one of the kernel available xen was not able to start the virtual machines. And later, browsing the repository tree discover that there are also kernels available in repositories/Kernel:/stable/openSUSE_11.3/ repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.3 Now the question (from my deepest ignorance): What are the differences of kernels in the different opensuse repositories? My guess is that repo and update contains the two very stable versions, but the other three are a mystery to me!

distribution/11.3 is 11.3 GA (does not change). update/11.3 are official security and bugfix updates for 11.3. repositories/Kernel:/openSUSE-11.3 are daily builds from the openSUSE-11.3 git branch, i.e. a preview of what will be released as an official update eventually (changes frequently). Kernel:HEAD are daily builds from the master git branch, which is tracking the mainline kernel and from which the next openSUSE kernel will be branched eventually (changes frequently). Kernel:stable are daily builds from the stable git branch. This one is tracking the latest "stable" kernel (in contrast to master, that also tracks -rc releases).
