Feature changed by: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) Feature #313288, revision 7 Title: Opensuse 12.2 - adopt kernel 3.4 openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Jedi Beeftrix (jedibeeftrix) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Why? Better Btrfs support: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTA1ODY Better Intel graphics support: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTA2MTI Intel Medfield support: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTA2ODQ Is it possible? Well, 3.3 is due in a weeks time: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTA2NTY And three months is the normal release period for the kernel, which puts it 3.4 at June 10th. This is before the first opensuse 12.2 release candidate: Thursday, 24 May 2012: openSUSE 12.2 Beta Thursday, 14 June 2012: openSUSE 12.2 RC 1 Discussion: #1: Jedi Beeftrix (jedibeeftrix) (2012-03-19 09:55:41) 3.4 was nine days late, but at less than three months on average there is still an excellent chance that 3.4 will arrive before RC1 hits the servers: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTA3Mjk + #2: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2012-03-31 02:09:26) + Important btrfs changes will be spliced into the openSUSE kernel + updates, as it is already done for openSUSE 12.1 (ships 3.1.x) which + has received btrfs patches from linux-3.2.x. + Time for a pusback to these repeated requests (that come in like, once + a distro release). The opensuse kernel team will decide if and when and + which kernel version is chosen, and I rather trust their decision than + neckbreaking last-minute updates. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313288
