Well, if you want a repo you could use Kernel-HEAD (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/standard/) That is bleeding edge though...
When I needed a more recent one for one of my Leap machines I went for the TW one, but without adding the repo. Just downloaded the relevant rpms and installed them. But you'd have to watch for security issues yourself.
Should also be possible to add the TW repo and only install the kernel from there, and then disable again so you don't get wrong packages by accident...> Please, don't even suggest such things.
You mean the temporarily add repo thing? Or also the use-the-TW-kernel? The outcome of both is the same, and not really much different (or more inconsistent) than using the kernel-stable repo - the kernels there have not been compiled on an 42.2 system either....
Why break consistency, intergrity of a system's repos. And make it a completely manual operation that no one understands but you. If I was asked to maintain such a system, the answer would be No.
I'm not asking you to do so :D And I'm neither in a mood for a 'fight', so I'll just shut up...
Hey, a fight was never my intention. We 'teach' new users to stick to the distribution repos ( + Packman for desktops ). Adding home:/ , devel:/ and/or openSUSE_Not_The_Running_Version is completely the opposite. In the forums we're ( as an almost daily routine ) dealing with people getting in trouble by mixing/adding repos. IMHO we should not propagate such 'solutions'. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
