https://dusk.idlemoor.tk/ - contains pre-built new linux kernel version packages. Now it contains versions: 4.4, 4.9, 4.12.
And yes, can anyone test this repo working with slapt-get ?

Re: Do you know about dusk.idlemoor.tk repository
Technically there is no issue. You can add a source for one of these repositories in /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc, for instance:reedych wrote:https://dusk.idlemoor.tk/ - contains pre-built new linux kernel version packages. Now it contains versions: 4.4, 4.9, 4.12.

Code: Select all
SOURCE=https://dusk.idlemoor.tk/linux-4.12/x86_64/:CUSTOM
Code: Select all
sudo slapt-get -u
sudo slapt-get --upgrade --ignore-excludes
- That would replace a working kernel with one that is provided only for testing
- You will need to rebuild an initrd, and check that it works then update your boot sector or file
- download the packages
- install the packages using spkg ot installpkg
- make an initrd for the new kernel
- add a stanza in /etc/lilo.conf for it (do not forget the line for the initrd) but do not remove existing ones
- check with "lilo -t -v"
- if you get no error run "lilo"

I see now in the man page that you could use the --no-upgrade option of slapt-get with the --install target, that comes handy as it will install the new kernel packages alongside the other ones instead of replacing them. However, you will still need to build the initrd and reconfigure the boot manager.
