Description Joe Jezak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-07 22:29:21 UTC
Hi everyone.  I've decided to pick up maintaining vanilla-sources.  To make my life a bit easier, I would appreciate it if each arch could go through the list below and let me know if they're okay, or if you want to keep another kernel.

From here, I'd like to keep the current kernel revision, two revisions back, the 2.6.16 series latest and the _rc candidates.  If your arch has a problem with that, please let me know. :)  Future stabilization requests will be made in tandem with the gentoo-sources kernel of the same revision.

As for release candidates, should I use unstable keywords from the last kernel and mask it?  Or would arches rather add their keywords as desired?  Another option?

Here are the kernels, sorted by version, that I'd like to keep, along with the keywords that would need to be added to do that, and any other questions I've got:

== 2.4 Kernels ==
2.4.32 - For the x86 team if they want to keep it
2.4.34.2 - alpha, sparc, x86?

== 2.6.16 Kernels ==
2.6.16.46 - alpha amd64 arm ia64 ppc ppc64 s390 sparc x86

== 2.6.17 Kernels ==
I would like to remove all of these, but if arm can't move to a newer kernel:
2.6.17.14 - arm

== 2.6.18 Kernels ==
2.6.18.8 - alpha amd64 ~arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 s390 sparc x86

== 2.6.19 Kernels ==
2.6.19.7 - alpha amd64 ~arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 s390 sparc x86

== 2.6.20 Kernels ==
2.6.20.* - Stabilize with Gentoo Sources from the same patchset

I hope this makes sense and thanks! :)

arm will have to stay with 2.6.17.x until i can verify newer things boot
Comment 3 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-08 13:10:24 UTC
that list is OK for ppc64.

although it would be OK for ppc64 to keep just the newest kernel versions. there are no known regressions on this architecture. keeping those older versions cannot hurt though.

 We don't want to keep it.

> 2.4.34.2 - alpha, sparc, x86?

 Tested and ok.
 
> == 2.6 Kernels ==
> 2.6.16.46 - alpha amd64 arm ia64 ppc ppc64 s390 sparc x86
> 2.6.18.8 - alpha amd64 ~arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 s390 sparc x86
> 2.6.19.7 - alpha amd64 ~arm hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 s390 sparc x86
> 2.6.20.* - Stabilize with Gentoo Sources from the same patchset

 All of above have been tested and are ok on x86.  All will go stable as soon as all issues with gentoo-sources-2.6.20-r5 are sorted out.
Comment 5 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-09 12:16:55 UTC
Sparc needs/wants:
latest 2.4, latest 2.6.17, and latest 2.6.20.

To my knowledge, all of comment #13 on bug #150436 still applies.
Comment 7 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-18 14:20:55 UTC
x86 done
Comment 8 Steve Dibb (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-26 19:20:59 UTC
amd64 done
Comment 9 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-06-26 18:44:14 UTC
This is essentially done.
