Hi, I maintain kernels in [kernels] for all its architectures, and ebrasca also maintains some too (for x86 and x64 only).
I was wondering how much ppl uses them (can we know the downloads?), because for example the Knock patches which are maintained by Emulatorman are giving me some issues, and Emulatorman, although he still maintains those patches at Hyperbola's git, doesn't compile vanilla kernels (LTS only, the knock patches for vanilla are the problem for me). So those patches are kinda abandoned (they are included in PCK, which has stopped me to update it, and I thought on changing the knock patches and kernels with PF). Plus, no one has marked those kernels as outdated, which smells like there is not much interest in them. Besides that, for GRSec we have linux-libre-hardened (which includes some grsecurity code), and some of our users might miss the combination of GRSeC + Knock. For that, I thought on the combination of hardened pacthes + apparmor or tomoyo configuration. My idea is to deprecate some kernels (specifically: linux-libre-xen, linux-libre-nand, linux-libre-knock and linux-libre-audit, supposing that no one or almost nobody uses them) but to add new ones in compensation. These kernels would be: - linux-libre-hardened-apparmor OR linux-libre-hardened-tomoyo - linux-libre-pf - linux-libre-lts-pf *And* replace knock with pf in the PCK patch (I haven't yet tested if the PF patch conflicts rcn-libre or ZEN, I also have to study their differences, both share some features. Looks like pf has ZEN, but I'll see later). I really need the community's opinion, because maintaining kernels is not a light job. I enjoy it, but sometimes it's tedious.
