Hi All, A brief overview of where things stand in terms of the kernel on each release. I promised I was going to send this out in place of the Fedora kernel IRC meetings. If there are other topics/questions you have, please just reply and ask away! F19/F20: Currently at 3.13.6 with nothing pending in updates-testing. These will get 3.13.7 bumps in updates-testing early next week. With the 3.13 rebase for F19, we also switched over the Secure Boot patchset to match that in F20. That means we have one patchset to maintain, and no release is stuck with the old (and somewhat broken) capabilities approach. This should not impact anyone and I would be surprised if anyone noticed. Rawhide (F21): Currently at 3.14-rc7.git2 and will likely move to 3.14 final early next week. I'll leave it at 3.14 final for a couple of days, and then progress to the 3.15 merge window kernels thereafter. Business as usual. In terms of F21 and which kernel we'll ship with, we're in a similar situation as we were with F20. The current F21 release date is mid-October. Using http://phb-crystal-ball.org/ (which is fairly accurate), we'll likely be approaching the release of 3.17 around that timeframe. However, squeezing it in at the last minute is generally a bad idea so we will likely be shipping the 3.16 kernel with F21 at GA. This is clearly not set in stone, but it's the best estimate we have at the moment. Fedora.next kernel packaging changes: As seen on-list, I'm working on splitting up the kernel packaging to make a kernel-core/kernel-drivers split that the Cloud people can use. I should be ready to post RFC patches next week, but more testing on the existing COPR would be appreciated: http://copr-fe.cloud.fedoraproject.org/coprs/jwboyer/kernel-core/ Thanks, and as mentioned above, please don't hesitate to ask questions. josh _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
