Hmm- as time ticks past I'm starting to feel less comfortable about this change of policy. Granted that I have no rights to complain, or to request anything at all - and if I really felt strongly about this then I should just grab the kernel srpm and build it myself. I am still using the 2.6.9-11.106.unsupported kernel on one box in order to let me use the mythtv rpms from the atrpms repository - and I only need it to gain the extra tv card drivers that aren't in the standard centos kernel. So I now have a box with an obscure port facing the 'net with a slightly out-of-date kernel. Not a huge issue for me, and as I said, if I cared more about it I'd get down and do some rpmbuilding of my own. But nevertheless this appears to be a shift of policy for what I understood (quite possibly incorrectly) the centosplus kernel to be about. I don't suppose you'd consider having a centosplusplus or centosextreme repository where you push the kernel much further than centosplus- and keep centosplus very close to the 'proper' centos kernel for those of us who just want a few extra modules switched back on but also want to stick as close as possible to the main kernel? Thanks for all your efforts- please don't take this as a complaint at all, the whole centos team does an awesome job - I'm really trying to be as constructive as possible with this mail. -- Cheers, Tony -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
