Back when I was trying to get this new machine up and running, I needed the latest kernel from the kernel repository in order for my wireless card to get going. Someone suggested that I add the kernel repository, which I did and have in my list of repos now:
7 | kernel_stable | kernel_stable | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/
So I am wondering - is there any advantage to keeping the kernel repository in my list of active repositories now? I have never had to do that on any of my other machines, and only did a kernel update when it came through the regular repositories.
Is there any disadvantage to keeping the kernel repository? Should I disable it? I am interested to know people's opinions on this.
I do but I don't accept every update.
I wish there was a better feed, one that covered the 4th and 5th digit changes.
Currently there is 4.5.2-2.1.g0454a6e.x86_64.rpm How is that different from the 4.5.0-10.gb98c3d3 that I'm running?
In fact how would it be different from a 4.5.2-1.0 ?
Miscellaneous (open)SUSE patches?
I guess you'd have to read the changelogs to really know.
So I get to https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/ChangeLog-4.5.2 which is fine for what it is but it still leaves the issue of the weekly changes such as what comes after the dash unaccounted for.
No, I meant the changelogs in the openSUSE rpms. Unless you're using vanilla, I'm sure we still have quite a few patches. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (11.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
