[SOLVED]Kernel 5.15?? Really? [YES REALLY]

Postby canadaist » Nov 25th, '21, 20:29

Because of discussion of kernel updates using (I'm sure I don't understand here) the wrong repository,
https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=14371
and because the updater is offering to jump to Kernel "5.15"
To satisfy dependencies, the following packages are going to be installed:
Package Version Release Arch
(medium "Core Updates")
cpupower 5.15.4 1.mga8 x86_64
kernel-desktop-5.15.4-1.mga8 1 1.mga8 x86_64
kernel-desktop-latest 5.15.4 1.mga8 x86_64
kernel-userspace-headers 5.15.4 1.mga8 x86_64


and I am right now
Operating System: Mageia 8
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.76.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.10.78-desktop-1.mga8 <---------
OS Type: 64-bit


I am left wondering, is this a real update? jumping from 5.10 to 5.14?

And is there a story on this?

According this information it's a legit update to the next LTS kernel.
https://advisories.mageia.org/MGAA-2021-0222.html
And
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29682

Acording to our Database still in core updates testing.
https://madb.mageia.org/package/show/application/0/arch/x86_64/name/kernel-desktop-5.15.4-1.mga8


But the first mirrors have picked up the update. So now it's in core updates.
