Hi,
did you guys see this discussion on LKML? Should we build the vanilla
kernel (¹) by default during our build process and put it in some
special repo maybe (or even in the main repo?)?

(¹) -- btw: Jarod, thx for making it easy to build one

Andrew Morton has spoken at different occasions about testing of the
Linux kernel and asked users to test the current development version and
report their findings. For our openSUSE releases we have in general a
frozen version and add only fixes for bugs that are encountered during
testing - but stay with the same version for the lifetime of a release.
With our openSUSE Build Service we build a daily kernel, where we take
nightly snapshots of the current upstream development kernel (Linus' kernel
tree linux-2.6.git) without any patches (besides those we need for building a
RPM). We do call this the vanilla kernel. It can be downloaded from:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/Vanilla/SUSE_Factory/
To install and use the vanilla kernel you might need to update some of your
user-space tools as well (like udev etc.). If you are running the latest
openSUSE Developer Version (aka Factory) you should already have the correct
version of tools installed.
If you test the vanilla kernel, report any problems to the Linux kernel
mailing list (for details check the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/) and not
to the openSUSE bugzilla. If you want to report problems with the RPMs itself
or have general questions about the Kernel:Vanilla project use the
opensuse-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list.

Are these openSUSE specific or something we ought to apply to mainline?
If I sometimes are a bit reluctant aplying rpm specific patches it
is simply because I do not use the functionality myself and has
been bitten by the rpm/rpmfind thingy and other isssues
due to badly tested patches before.

If there are patches (at the moment there are none) than they are
openSUSE Build Service specific. Otherwise we usually send patches
upstream.

Would it make sense to build it for the other distros as well? like
debian, fedora and mandrake? I mena in _theory_ we could build it for
those distros in the build server, couldn't we?
