From: Justin Forbes on gitlab.com https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/issues/42#note_555112975 > Ok, that's what I had assumed. Can we make the naming consistent though, while still accomplishing that? The naming is inline with package guidelines. rcX releases are in fact upstream releases (you can download the tarball on kernel.org). The git snapshots are not releases, and are snapshots. Versioning follows for each. As to the sub packages, producing only kernel-debug for a non debug build will break a whole lot of the things we wish to test. The existance of a package called 'kernel' is fairly critical. Inverting the naming would just be confusing for everyone involved. Again, we want those scripts which just rely on 'kernel' to test the debug kernel frequently, but also the non debug kernel at least once a week (we have had issues where things worked in a debug kernel, and broke in non debug). As to the users who prefer to only run non-debug kernels, they get those in Rawhide nodebug, or only do updates on Monday evening or Tuesday morning. > I'm not sure what you mean by the no-debug repository? https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/rawhide-kernel-nodebug/ It is set to ensure that people always get the latest debug kernel with a 'dnf update' for people using the rawhide repository for other things, they can exclude kernel in the rawhide repository config, for people using stable kernel but running a rawhide kernel, stable versions will always be lower. In either case, adding rawhide-nodebug as a separate repository will keep the intended kernel installed. We added this repository and model in 2012. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
