But I'm holding off on implementing any of that, for the moment, until I better understand what packages get updated when. Don't want to block/freeze that wrong stuff.

But I have updated my notes for when I am ready.


So recently a new Raspbian kernel came out, to make circumstances ripe for playing with preventing apt-get from upgrading my kernel.

I created the file /etc/apt/preferences.d/kernel exactly as Rich suggested, and that seems to work.

As for finding out when I should build a new kernel there was the question of how to tell me when a new kernel should be built. At the moment I have a decent habit of manually running apt-get pretty frequently, so I decided to add another manual step:

  cd ~/pi-linux
  git fetch --tags

And see whether there is a new stable tab from which to build. (The fact that I don't currently have the ability to send e-mail from that machine did enter in…)

Thanks,

-kb, the Kent who did a new kernel build early this week, it worked, it came back from a reboot, etc.//
