Hi,

For those like me who are using ZFS file system and for the others.
With the crazy number of linux upstream updates added the number of Arch pkg release update, I made the decision to slow down all of this by creating a dedicated linux kernels repository for Obarun.
You will find inside this repo the linux-lts version 5.4.30 and linux-lts419 4.19.114 version for now.
[obkernel]
SigLevel = Required
Server = https://repo.obarun.org/obkernel
Thx
Nice! I'll try the lts419 kernel, since I read here that it should be lean. My machine is an old i3 2,1 Ghz, so it doesn't need the latest bling in the newer kernels. Before coming to Obarun I hadn't thought of the problem with bigger and bigger kernels.

Hi

What you'r telling us here is interesting.
I was in discussion with eric who presented me his vision concerning the integration of Linux kernels in Obarun.

My idea of dedicated kernel repository was motivated with the idea of choice. But in the other hand, your intervention is the proof that linux-lts and linux-lts419 should be now in the core of Obarun. Eric pointed it out to me.
Still the user will have the possibility to install Arch linux kernels from the pacman command line.

So Linux kernels ( linux-lts and linux-lts419 ) are now officialy part of the core of Obarun at obcore repo. Because people still have the choice, the obkernel is in fact not really necessary.
Just installed the repo and then 419lts. Seems to work fine.

Ahh, I see now, it installed from repo "obextra" not "obkernel".

Works great! Thx!
