Hi All,
Just thought I would ping the list about my current plans for kernel
3.8 in rawhide so people are aware of what's going on.
I'm breaking it down into a couple of phases to make the change less
of a problem (with luck):
1) phase 1 is basically a basic 3.7 -> 3.8 jump and will include the following:
* drop separate imx kernel. Currently doesn't support the previous HW
we supported with the imx kernel. It's now buildable as a unified
kernel
* deal with new kernel config options we need to actually build the config.
When you're dropping separate kernels, dealing with new kconfig options,
or shuffling around config-arm* files, please keep in mind that the older
Fedora releases get rebased as well. Right now, F18 is at 3.7 in
updates-testing, but it will eventually move to the 3.8 kernel and F17
likely will a bit after that.
If a platform is dropped in rawhide but not the older releases, you'll
still wind up having to deal with it there. I'm not sure there's much
that can be done, but it is something that does come up every time we do
a kernel rebase.
