Re: [Devil-linux-develop] Question about upgrade plans

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Andrzej,

Sorry for the late answer.

I have currently no plans to upgrade the Kernel. Being on the latest  
Kernel has historically caused us some grief with the kernel patches.  
That's why we're currently using the "stable long-term" kernel. I  
didn't realize that 3.14 is a new long-term kernel and I agree that we  
should try to switch to that.

Anybody should be able to replace the Kernel. The initial fun is with  
the main kernel config, then the additional patches. We should also  
make a decision on which Kernel patches we actually want to keep in  
the distro. Some of the problematic ones might not even be used  
anymore by anybody.

I'd say replace it and see what happens. ;-)
