I'm running openSUSE 13.2 with the Kernel:stable:standard repo. I've noticed that the kernel-desktop package has been missing for some time now. I checked the OBS and don't see it in the Overview tab either. Has that package been removed? aiui, kernel-desktop has been rolled into kernel-default. It hasn't been ROLLED into *-default.
kernel-desktop has been REPLACED by kernel-default -- as in _Back to the Future_ replaced.
Apart from a truckload of CONFIG statemets which were *removed* from the *-desktop but which are STILL in the *-default, these are the differences between *-desktop and *-default:
http://susepaste.org/55220715 Of which the only possibly significant changes are in:
CONFIG_HZ_250 CONFIG_SCHED_AUTOGROUP
The latter can be toggled by way of /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled
Why should anyone have to "toggle" anything manually when it is already set and compiled in the kernel-desktop?
Some people running timing-critical applications may be affected by this change - but nobody appears to see fit to make an official announcement about this. It is a pretty minor change, isn't it?
Do you subscribe to the list 'opensuse-kernel'? If you do, or do not, have a look at the exchange of posts in the thread, "Merging kernel-desktop back to kernel-default (fate #319416)", held last month (September).
