Fedora ARM remix kernels

[Peter Robinson]

Hi all,

Before I forget about this again it might be worth recommending to creators
of remixes to exclude the kernel from Fedora yum repo configs and put a
large banner on the remix page reminding users not to upgrade to a Fedora
kernel as if we supported the hw it wouldn't be a remix.

See RHBZ 1013061 as an example

Peter,

Those recommendations seems completely reasonable.

Thanks
-Jon

Is adding exclude=kernel to /etc/yum.conf (of the remixes, I mean)
a possibility?

libguestfs lets you edit virtual machines.  Supports shell scripting,
bindings from many languages.  http://libguestfs.org

Here is what happens on the script to compose the chromebook remix:

    echo "exclude=kernel kernel-tegra kernel-lpae systemd systemd-libs
systemd-python systemd-sysv" >> ${TMP_MNT}/etc/yum.conf

This did not happen for the Bone Black remix, unfortunately.
My apologies.
