Kernel 4.7 rebase plans

[Laura Abbott]

Hi,

I just submitted the 4.6.6 kernel update to stable for F23/F24. Both
4.7.1 and 4.6.7 are expected to be released upstream on Tuesday. 4.6.7
will be the last 4.6.y based kernel for F23/F24. 4.7.1 or 4.7.2 will
be available for testing sometime early next week.

If you have any questions please let us know.

Thanks,
Laura

As a follow up, we are aware that the nvidia driver does not currently work
with the 4.7 kernel. Nvidia is aware, and given their history of monthly
releases, I expect they will have a working release this week.  Should they
fail to do so, I will do a blog post with a workaround.

Does the 4.7 kernel have nouveau support for the Pascal-based graphics adapters?

No, the initial support will be in 4.8, though nvidia has yet to
release a firmware that can be used.

4.7.2 is now available in bodhi for testing. If you are still running
F23, please make extra sure to give karma since there is already
starting to be some fall off in activity.

Thanks,
Laura

I ended up doing an incremental build on top of 4.7.2 to bring in a
few important fixes. Everything else in 4.7.2 looked fairly good so
my plan is to push 4.7.2-{1,2}01 to stable as soon as it gets enough
karma.

Please test and give karma again. A reminder that if you do find
regressions please note on the bodhi update corresponding to the
kernel you tested AND file a bugzilla with information.

Thanks,
Laura

It's somewhat hard since the corresponding kernel-devel packages seems 
to be  missing. Is this on purpose?

Uh... what?  They're present in the build.  Perhaps the mirror you hit is stale?

It's also on the primary mirror:

Perhaps. But this has been a common problem for me with many recent 
kernel updates. But if it's only me, I presume it's the mirror.

Tried with "dnf upgrade --refresh" ?

I'm more the sledgehammer type, so I did dnf clean all. But to no avail.

I don't think it's with just the kernel though, the recent
selinux-policy once stable took more than 24 hours before a dnf update
picked it up.
