Merry Xmas! Kernel 6.12 packages now available for Salix 15.0

[gapan]

Hi Gapan,

my standard PC runs quite well with the 5.15.x kernel. Other than newer hardware support, is there any need to upgrade the kernel?

No, not really.

Maybe its a solution for my laptop not booting salix at all... but my old BIOS PC does fine as it is.

It should be. Does the installer boot? If so, you could try replacing the kernel packages in the iso using isomaster. Otherwise, you'll need to wait for a new iso.

Which I'm a little bit late with. I was left without an internet connection at home since Christmas morning and couldn't do anything about it.

Is the source code for the new kernel packages also available?

Well, if you really want the source code, it's on kernel.org, specifically: https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel ... 8.3.tar.xz

If you want the source code + all scripts, it's exactly the same as in slackware current, i.e. here: https://slackware.uk/slackware/slackwar ... /source/k/

If you're being pedantic and just want the exact same files next to the packages, well, I guess I'll do that to at some point.

Its more to do with understanding the structure and expectations re: open-source and SalixOS.

Of course, because 16 years of Salix history mean nothing about "structure and expectations re: open-source and SalixOS."

FYI, I have upgraded the kernel in the repo to 6.12.65.

Yet another update to 6.12.68.

I also added updated grub and os-prober packages in our main repo.
