Just curious if there are any plans on switching to 2.6.23 kernel for OpenSUSE 10.3? If it's too late to change the kernel, then maybe a -CFS or/and -SD patched flavors can be released through BuildService. I just think it'll be beneficial for an already great Linux distribution. Hi Ildar -
I'm the kernel release manager for openSUSE 10.3.
We have no plans to ship 2.6.23 at present. 10.3 is about to enter the beta phase of development. Updating the kernel version would be far too invasive and, more importantly, invalidate any of the valuable QA work that SUSE teams and the alpha testers out there have already performed. As usual, we'll end up backporting fixes and small feature, but it's just too late to jump another version. At OLS 2007 there was talk of how can we can achieve better coverage of the latest RC branch kernel or even the latest mainline release for that matter. Would there be any support from openSUSE to keep a kernel in the repository which is just the latest vanilla RC release as an unsupported RPM? This way

You could even create the "Warning unsupported. Report bugs to the lkml" message with the current pop-up that conveys license information for RPMs.
I think we already have those types of kernels in the opensuse build system. Have you looked at: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/Vanilla/SUSE_Factory/
Hm, it seems like that isn't very up to date...
Jeff, do you remember who was building these packages?
IIRC, Jan Blunck was managing those. I was about to respond saying this would be perfect for the Build Service, but wasn't sure about how to define it as a repo. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGsLikLPWxlyuTD7IRAu5yAJ0Vp+LyDH5gW6jStTN/BRlhiyeK9wCfSGLS 3+82a30WIAD5DA6mcTYeMJE= =/K9F -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
