kernel 2.6.32 package not in [testing]?

graysky · 2009-12-04 01:24:29

Will the kernel26 package containing 2.6.32 go into [testing] at some point, or is it being testing in a closed to the public fashion?

Maybe you missed the announcement, but the most recent kernel will only be available to users subscribed to our premium service.

It always gets there sooner than later, graysky. Lack of patience only makes you an object of devs' mockery ;-)

graysky - judging from your forum reg date, you've been using Arch for about a year, During that time, there have been four major kernel releases. All of them have been committed to the testing repo for a period of time, before being moved to core. All minor kernel releases during the same period have also been committed to testing before being moved to core. In fact, updates for all packages in the core repo are submitted to testing before being moved to core.

Is it possible you didn't notice any of this happening, in an entire year using Arch?

Send me a check for $1,000,000 US and I'll send you a shiny new kernel.

Could I pay in installments with deductibles for every kernel oops?

He's asking about testing, not core.

At this time there is no kernel26 in [testing], and that's what the OP is asking about.

I think people took this as a joke. He was being serious.

Glad you noticed . Some men in black suits with blacker ties will be along shortly to settle the debt.

i've seen some commits for kernel 2.6.32. devs are working on this. also you might want subscribe to arch-dev-public mailing list.

p.s you want kernel 2.6.32 & co packages to be bug free and being first is not the case with kernel.

hungerfish · 2009-12-04 18:11:24

Since you all are having a good time making fun about impatient users, I'll ruin it by asking a real question

My self being 'really' impatient, I pulled the kernel-source off kernel.org, and went and built it.
Now, I was just looking for some experimenting, until the 2.6.32 packages make it into testing (they've been committed), but I stumbled across a mayor show-stopper:

Where and how are the 'naming-scemes' for devices defined? Using arch-kernel I get /dev/sdXy, using vanilla I get /dev/hdXy.

Unlike skottish I am much more lenient - just send me your Visa card details and we're done with it.

@ hungerfish

try kernel26-rc 2.6.32 from the aur, works for me with oldconfig.

Ain't that to do with udev? I think the 2.6.32 kernel has put the functions of udev into the kernel itself so that it doesn't have to rely on udev anymore. Must be an option somewhere in the kernel config to disable the built in function I guess.

One thing that attracted me to Arch is the minimal cycle time from when upstream announces it to when it appears as a package. Until recently, I didn't bother with looking in [testing] for stuff -- especially kernels -- I guess I've become more daring now. I've seen some packages go live same day (most recent firefox for example, but there are other examples too). Anyway, my post wasn't meant as a joke or as a "hurry up" annoyance, it was a legit question. No offensive intended. I'll just keep an eye on [testing] and play with it when it appears.

flamelab · 2009-12-04 18:59:27

Look on projects.archlinux.org, 2.6.32 kernel packaging development has already started

wonder · 2009-12-04 19:14:07

http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/package … 4/PKGBUILD

2.6.32 is commited but not moved in testing yet.

Or better, you can put the new kernel package on ebay.
