Alpine considering moving linux-edge to "testing"
Upstream is considering moving this kernel to "testing", which means it will no longer be available in stable Alpine/pmOS releases.
Here's a list of devices that currently depend on linux-edge
. It's either a hard dependency (like that's the only kernel listed for it in the device package), or it gives you the option to install linux-edge
.
- device-asus-me176c @Minecrell
- device-beelink-gt1 @exkc
- device-cubietech-cubieboard
- device-google-x64cros @alpernebbi @jenneron
- device-odroid-hc2
- device-oneplus-cheeseburger @deathmist - device-oneplus-dumpling @deathmist
- device-qemu-aarch64 @Minecrell @ollieparanoid
- device-qemu-amd64 @Minecrell @ollieparanoid
- device-qemu-riscv64 @Minecrell @ollieparanoid
- device-radxa-zero @exkc
- device-sipeed-licheezero
- device-tablet-x64uefi
- device-valve-jupiter @craftyguy
Device maintainers: can you stop depending on linux-edge
? Most of these devices are in the pmaports "testing" status, but if there's any chance those devices might move to "community" then this question is still relevant for you
