Needless mention of non-SMP kernels in slackware64-current/CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT ?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Accidentally found in slackware64-current/CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT Quote:

Yeah, that's because C&H is the same file in both 32 and 64 bit trees. I don't care to maintain two copies, so my nonbinding opinion is "oh well." Sorry :-)
|
Is it a not bad idea to unify smp/nosmp naming between 32 and 64 bit versions and use empty localversion for smp (as in 64 now) and -nosmp for nosmp? We have nosmp-sdk already. For ex.:
huge.s, hugenosmp.s, kernel-huge-x.x.x, kernel-huge-nosmp-x.x.x_nosmp, kernel-generic-x.x.x, kernel-generic-nosmp-x.x.x_nosmp, kernel-modules-x.x.x, kernel-modules-nosmp-x.x.x_nosmp, and so on... |
Robby perhaps you could clarify that section by adding a statement that if you are running Slackware64 then all the kernels are SMP enabled.

rworkman, just poped-up notice. If there are reasons to leave it there I have not any counter-arguments yet.

In the for what is worth department....
I don't see this as a problem, it's sort of understood, at least by me that the file is used for both 64 and 32 bit version. |
Let's bear in mind that CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT is intended to be read by new slackers as well.
So IMHO wildwizard's advice is a sound suggestion, which would provide accurate information as well as avoid the hassle of maintaining two versions of this file. |
