There is an updated pull request by classabbyamp against master on the void-packages repository https://github.com/classabbyamp/void-packages linux-meta https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/53137 [RFC] adjust and note the kernel series each metapackage follows The current kernel metapackage policy is: - `linux-mainline`: follows the latest available kernel - `linux`: follows the latest available kernel that supports popular dkms modules, like `zfs` and `nvidia` - `linux-lts`: follows an LTS release and is behind `linux` In recent times, kernels have been released and gone EOL faster than `zfs` can release build fixes, and `nvidia` in particular has had trouble with recent kernels, holding us back from bumping `linux` to 6.10 or 6.11. In the recent past, we've had `linux` point to a kernel that was already EOL (6.3 or 6.5), so we risked not getting backports for important fixes. I propose the following changes: - `linux-mainline`: no change - `linux`: follows the latest LTS release - `linux-lts`: follows the second-latest LTS release This should help us keep `linux` on a supported kernel and provide a more reliable indicator for when we can update the default kernel series, I think. @void-linux/pkg-committers, thoughts? A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/53137.patch is attached
