Hello. Well so i have a new computer which warps me forward a decade and which should be capable to compile even clang and anything else too, because of an unbelievable 8 GB main memory. It works just fine with kernel 4.19.30 (i run AlpineLinux for hmm because of binary updpates, maybe since my former somewhat beefy machine died at the end of 2015, and just "cloned over" btrfs). I do not worry too much (or even at all) about syscall / C library compatibility, but having seen C library tries to access /proc or /sys entries which do not yet / no longer exist (i think this was on Debian) i wonder what for example USB and udev and maybe hwparm etc. say when placed on a "false" kernel. So i went to kernel.org yesterday and saw that 4.14 is EOL in January 2020 i think, whereas 4.19 will be at the end of 2020. Thus my question: if i spend time now to get myself going with a 4.19 kernel (strip it down etc.), will i land nicely together with CRUX 3.5, or do you continue with 4.14, or even step to 5? You know, i had a best-fit kernel years ago, but this damn thing develops so fast, and i am not really looking towards their progress, as it really is overwhelming... and am not subscribed to any "secondary consumers" where you hear the one thing or the other either. Do you have some advice here? Thanks in advance. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
