Hello!
I read a lot about kernel updates in this list, but I still have the following (understanding?) problem:
When I install a new kernel from on of the repositories
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/Vanilla/openSUSE_10.3/ or http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/i586...
I get the "most current" Version of the kernel. When I now want to stick to a specific version, lets say 2.6.23 or 2.6.24 (when finished), where will I get the security updates for the version? The repositories will change to the newer branch again, won't they?
Also, where do I get the 2.6.23 build now, when there are already the 2.6.24-rc builds in the repositories?
You get the security updates for the kernels of released products, not for every 2.6.xx branch. (Of course someone could create subpackages for every 2.6.xx kernel.)
Ciao, Marcus
So there is NO (update-)repository that allows me to use 2.6.23? OK. This brings me to another question on compiling the kernel myself: Some people talk about the SUSE-common method of installing a self-compiled kernel by first creating an RPM. Are there any howtos describing this method for OpenSUSE 10.3? I found a lot on self-compiling, but nothing on this first-make-a-RPM method. Another point: I just found this ccj_kernel from engelh. Doesn't he provide a repository with newer kernels for OpenSUSE versions? Are there any opinions about this branch?
