Hi,
I don't see any value to keep factory buggy on purpose while 3.7 is shaping up.
When it's not leading up to a release, no. When it is, we want the late -rc time to have users do testing on the actual kernel that we'll use for release. If we wait until .0, then we lose weeks of testing at a critical time in the cycle.
Kernel:head can stay what it is and I just take a kernel from the stable series just as Greg is doing for tumbleweed.
And once you're ready for 3.7 we switch to it again. The only problem is the changes files being from different branches, but for the factory users it would only go forward in kernel versions.
That's fine but 3.8 will probably be around release-time for 12.3 and we'll want to start doing -rc's again. I usually start with -rc2 because -rc1 can be pretty unstable.
That much is understood (even though it was me who pushed rc7 :), but between 3.7.0 and 3.8.0-rc2 are enough 3.7.X releases to talk about. Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
