Agreed to that exception. But in such cases people should also be stimulated to file bugreports, so that the necessary patches / fixes can be backported to Leap's kernel version.
But unless its a security issue, the stated opensuse policy is to not mess with the kernel. So this is likely to prove fruitless.
So, what SUSE is doing with the SLE kernel is fruitless. Good their customers don't know :D.
No, everybody appreciates bugfix kernel updates for SLE or openSUSE. But sometimes, if you buy the newest hardware, you need a newer kernel to be able to use an existing distro. This is a general Linux problem (not micro kernel). For Linux distros it makes usually no sense to report bugs regarding unsupported hardware. Though it would be nice to have repos for the users offering certain kernel versions. I know we have such repos but nothing like reasonable "LTS backport support". For Ubuntu it's much easier and better supported to get newer kernels for older distro releases. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
