i486 linux package stuck at 5.18

Hi,

I've noticed that the linux package in i486/core has been stuck at 5.18 for a while now. This one unfortunately also has a WiFi bug that was fixed in later versions.
I'm running 6.0.12 from i486/staging now and it's working fine, but I wonder if there is a reason for this lagging behind or if this was just dropped by the build server.

I'd love to try out Linux 6.1 of course with MGLRU :-)

Mmh. Curious, yes. Linux for 486 is on 6.0. I pushed it to stable.

Thank you!
Any reason for not doing the same on i686/pentium4?

Oeh. No, but actually the linux kernel should publish "itself". Something seems to depend on it, that's why it gets stuck.
I push it on all subarchs..

Re: i486 linux package stuck at 5.18

If I look at the i486 mirror I see linux@6.1.5 as published a couple of days ago.  Are you using an up to date mirror?

Ah now it's there, yesterday it was still at 6.0 while the other archs already had 6.1 for a few weeks. Sorry for the noise.

Re: i486 linux package stuck at 5.18

Well, apparently 6.1.5 was announced on Thursday 12th Jan, 6.1.4 on Saturday 7th, 6.1.3 on 4th Jan, 6,1,2 on New Year's Eve, and 6.1..1 on 21 Dec last year which seems to have been the first release of 6.1.  I don't know if and if so when those kernels were released for i486, but by my maths that's a 4 week span.

Meanwhile pentuim4 users still seem to be stuck on 6.1.4 ever after 6.1.6 was announced yesterday..  Seems we haven't got the bandwidth to build  a new release for every kernel patch each week or so on three platforms. So perhaps one on the previous 6.1 kernels was also published for 1486, but it wouldn't surprise me if the bandwidth was put to the more used platforms instead.

Re: i486 linux package stuck at 5.18

The build worker power is not the problem. Packages are in testing for at most 2 weeks before being pushed to stable.
I pushed now the 6.1.5 kernels manually.
