Would like to play with the kernel of the day. Could that be done with zypper. How should I start the new repository? zypper ar with the URL of the kernel of the day seems to request more information.
Have you seen this page?
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Kernel_of_the_day
I think one piece of information is missing there: enable multiple versions of the kernel in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf (there is a comment in zypp.conf explaining it).
Regards,
Read it and then lost direction after I started to read http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Zypper_usage#Listing_defined_repositories
Thanks for bringing me on the way.
Have looked line by line through zypp.conf and assume you meant multiversion=provides:multiversion(kernel)
Yes, just did not remember exactly how it looks (and was not near my Linux computer).
That was a piece of info I was looking for. One open question: do I still need "zypper mr -p 100 KOTD" or could I give KOTD a higher priority?
I would say it is up to you. I tried this procedure to install 2.6.35 kernel together with 2.6.34 and I do not want Yast to automatically lupdate 2.6.35 kernel. So I set priority to 100 in the hope I'll not forget to check for newer versions of 2.6.35 myself. If you prefer letting zypper/yast to update your KOTD, give it higher priority.
