I don't have it clear in what sense 42.1 is an LTS, because it seems that we have to upgrade to 42.2. 42.1 is mantained for 2 years only, I understand.
The old model was 2N+2 (ie. support for 2 releases, plus 2 months of extended overlapping support.)
If a release every 8 months (as was the hope), that meant 18 months of support.
The new model is N+6 (i.e. 1 release at a time, plus 6 months of overlapping support).
The Leap release schedule appears to be once a year, so that too is every 18 months.
Aha. Good clarification :-)
Ah. So ⅓ is an LTS, the rest is not :-)
Tumbleweed gets every kernel-release. Leap gets the LTS kernel of the year.
Maybe. It is only known 42.1 got the spring 2016 LTS kernel. 42.2 will get the 2017 LTS kernel.
The 2017 LTS kernel? That's wonderful. But...
No commitment yet about the 42.3 kernel.
Well, there was some recent talk about which kernel to use. Was it finally decided to use the kernel from SLE 12 SP2?
Yes, its a done deal.
Then I'm confused, because above you said it was the 2017 LTS kernel :-? Typo? Would it be the 2016 LTS kernel? :-?
I suggested an alternate non fully suported kernel from a more recent branch for those people. I don't have the skills to do such a thing myself, except take a KOD and build locally, for me only.
The Leap 42.2 kernel is available in at least 2 repos. Since it will be the SLE 12 SP 2 kernel too, I assume bugzilla's against that kernel will get acted on.
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/Kernel:openSUSE-42.2
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/gregfreemyer:/Kernel:/LTS/st...
That second project is mine and until the end of the year should be the same as the Kernel:openSUSE-42.2 project.
When the 2017 LTS kernel comes out, I will try to update my Kernel:LTS project with it, but no promises.
Fair enough :-) - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
