[SOLVED] Incorrect kernel version on core repository?

sinatosk · 2011-10-16 07:42:08

I went on kernel.org this morning after I read a message somewhere about kernel 3.2 rc1 and noticed the "Latest Stable Kernel" is 3.0.4

I'm thinking to myself "odd... didn't I upgrade my arch to 3.0.6 not long ago"

First thing I did was went here

http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … ages/linux

and on line number 9

_basekernel=3.0

and on line number 17

source=("ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-${_basekernel}.tar.bz2"

and then I went to ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/

based on the PKGBUILD file ( from my point of view )... your only downloading "linux-3.0.tar.bz2" yet you've labelled it 3.0.6-2 ( "-2" being archlinux second revision of "3.0.6" ) in the core repository when really the latest version is 3.0.4 and we're actually using kernel 3.0.0

am I missing something or what the hell is going on?

yes... in the source array:

ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/linux/patch-${pkgver}.gz

That has the 3.0.6 patch with some additional patches included by the Arch maintainer

It goes back to the kernel.org security breach. The site was down completely for a good while, now it's back up, but not completely up to date.
