| | > Hey folks! Sorry about the delay in getting this batch out but I had other \\ distractions going on here last week that prevented getting this one wrapped \\ up. Anyway, probably the highlight of this update set is that we've decided \\ to abandon the 5.10 LTS kernel in favor of following the latest one. We've \\ never really had a policy that required LTS in a stable release although that \\ is how it has been done for years, but based on comments from the Slackware \\ community it seems like 5.10 LTS isn't getting a lot of love and lacks \\ hardware support that people need now. Conversely, the reports on 5.12 have \\ been almost entirely positive, so we're going to provide what we think is the \\ best available kernel. It's unlikely that we'll see another LTS prior to \\ release, so the plan for maintenance is to keep following the latest kernels \\ as needed for security purposes. If that means we have to jump to a new branch \\ while supporting the stable release, we'll start the kernel out in testing \\ first until we've had some feedback that it's safe to move it to the patches \\ directory. Sooner or later we will end up on an LTS kernel again, and at that \\ point we'll just roll with that one. Feel free to comment (or complain) about \\ this plan on LQ... I'll be curious to see what people think. Anyway, enjoy! |
