I noticed an issue that somebody might want to look into (or not). On our production kvm virtual machines, we really run a self built kernel provided by the kvm host system; the installed kernel in the virtual machine is dormant. A long time ago I tried to uninstall kernel-default, but was forced by dependencies to install another kernel-*. Finally I arrived at having kernel-vanilla installed on all the VMs.
Now, when updating (zypper dup) with the 3.12 update, zypper tells me that in addition to kernel-vanilla, kernel-pae needs to be installed. I don't even have kernel-pae in my repo mirrors, because I exclude all the non-x86_64 stuff there. I can workaround this with "zypper in kernel-default -kernel-vanilla", after that, the kernel-pae is no longer required. Maybe I'll have a close look at the dependencies, and build myself an empty kernel-dummy RPM. Any hints on what dependencies such a package would need to declare (so that the published kernel-* packages would no longer be required?) best regards Patrick _______________________________________________ Evergreen mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rosenauer.org/mailman/listinfo/evergreen
