"-current" will become Slackware-15. If you download and install an .iso of -current it says, when it boots up, "Welcome to Slackware64 15", or something along that line.

A big novelty would it be indeed, for Slackware to publish anything before ready.

Let's hope it remains true and "old" in that regard?

Slackware 15 is what -current will become when it becomes stable.

Could the experimental kernel packages in /testing be called differently from mainline kernels?

As far as I understand, kernels can safely coexist, whereas at the moment slackpkg would remove stock kernels if installing a testing one .

This may be made easier if renaming the testing kernel packages somehow. Maybe kernel_testing-*

The workaround is to download packages, rename them, install renamed.
slackpkg download ...
rename kernel- kernel-testing- ...
installpkg ...
Fix /boot/vmlinuz* symlinks and bootloader config.

This will break the slack-desc file. It's not a huge deal, but it won't show the package description for the testing kernels in pkgtool.

You should at least blacklist kernel-huge kernel-generic and kernel-modules if you are using slackpkg.
Never let slackpkg upgrade your kernels unless you're an absolute newbie and don't even know why having multiple kernels is a thing.

My system boots -huge kernels from efi, plus I also have failsafe kernels which I can always choose at boot.

Therefore I never had any problems in updating kernels with slackpkg. I also have a script which rebuilds nvidia drivers after an upgrade, which works (more or less) within one minor version series of kernels.

In principle, I can always build the kernel myself. But I'd still like to be able to test "the actual Slackware binaries".

Please set CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRC32C to m, otherwise users with btrfs root cannot benefit from hardware accelerated crc32c

Seems even Fedora has CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRC32C=y. Are you sure this is still an actual problem? And if so, are you sure it isn't brtfs's problem to fix?

Arch Linux: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/p...packages/linux
Debian: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team.../config/config

On Fedora
Code:
$ dmesg | grep crc32c
[    3.320686] Btrfs loaded, crc32c=crc32c-intel
Whole disk is btrfs except for /boot/efi which is vfat.
(Fedora installer does not allow /boot on a btrfs but I accomplish that by moving initrd and vmlinuz to ESP)

Maybe it is not CONFIG_CRYPTO_CRC32C but CONFIG_LIBCRC32C should be set to m?


If it is really btrfs's problem why cannot I find any bug report about it?
