In order to broaden the set of 'stable' kernels available to Gentoo users, it would be nice to see if the aufs-patched kernels that use already-stabilised gentoo-sources kernel versions, could also be stabilised, subject to there being no issues with the aufs patchset. Currently I can see the following versions present in both gentoo-sources and aufs-sources which could, potentially, be stabilised: - 4.4.87-r1 - 4.9.49-r1 - 4.12.12 Also, there are quite a few versions in aufs-sources that have been dropped from the gentoo-sources list. I won't list them here now. I'm happily using the aufs4 separate ebuild, but having to remember to rebuild the aufs module separate to the kernel, in addition to virtualbox-modules is starting to get wearing!!
We tried it in the past, but the arch teams simple didn't stabilize in a timely fashion. @kernel, what do you think?
My opinion, these should not be tied together. It's not just the patchset that is stabilized but the patchset + kernel. The aufs provides a different patchset and therefore, I think, should be stabilized separately. And I certainly don't want to ask for ausfs+gentoo-sources stabilization at the same time. I will never get things stabilized.

My thinking was to use Mike's commit/stable 'lead' on this, and perhaps share a bit of the admin burden, so that there was a rough parity in status between the two pairs of sources. The way I see it potentially working, is as follows: - Mike/Alice commit a new patch/release to gentoo-sources-X.Y - This triggers a corresponding patch/release to aufs-sources-X.Y - Mike triggers stabilisation on gentoo-sources-X.Y.Z - This triggers a request for aufs-sources. + perhaps we can do some of this with a bugzie or email hooks? stablebot even? Obviously there will be a lag between these events all happening, and perhaps a spot of automation would make it less human-heavy .. but does that clarify my idea a little? There is potential now to leverage the kernel-CI buildbot to have a 'job' to patch the aufs sources on top, or whatever Justin needs to do for this. Perhaps we could have a chat about how best this might be accomplished in #g-kernel on IRC .. does that work? I'm game to do some legwork, as I'm helping Alice with the buildbot already.
Thanks for the explanation. That does seem reasonable.
Hi Micheal I tried before and the arch team are not stabilising kernel packages fast enough. I would rather stay aligned with the main gentoo-sources in terms of version available and not having stable versions than chasing up arch teams to do their work.

I hear you on that .. will see if I can lubricate the wheels any.
