With the new scheme all the kernels will have a different name, that way, all the kernels will be different, and they can stay in the distro without any problems. I asked for being able to have more than one kernel in cooker. Upper level came with that proposal, that _all_ the kernels can be there.

No, each new kernel provides the old names: kernel = 2.4.X Gain as that you can have in the mirros more than one kernel, and that upgrading your distro don't change your kernel, you can install a new kernel, but not upgrade the kernel. Notice that kernel is special anyway, as for having efect the installing of a new kernel, you need to reboot. It is the only packages that needs that. And yes, I also know that the new kernel naming: - fix some problems with old kernel naming. - add some problems that was not there.

That is the whole point of this exercise, I did'nt want to remove the 2.4.13 kernel while switching to 2.4.16. 2.4.13 is _very_ stable (at least in my hardware/fs), and I wanted to have a tested 2.4.16.Xmdk before making it the default Mandrake kernel. Notice that you can still have the latest and the greatest kernel in Mandarke, just that you can also have a kernel that is still a bit older with all the addons, for instance, lastest 2.4.16 kernel don't have still: - h323 iptables support - the quota format for 2.4.13-acX branch and I think that I still miss a bit of changes for 2.4.13-ac branch. Solution is: - Cooker wait a long time to get a new kernel because all the things having been ported. - Cooker has a new kernel soon, but with only some of the features that it is supposed to have. - Cooker has an old kernel that has _all_ the features and a new kernel soon that is catching up.

Well, I coulda sworn I saw a changelog notice for somemdk with a version that would result in kernel-2.4.16.3mdk.i586.rpm instead of kernel-2.4.16-3mdk.i586.rpm or was I dreaming? May not have been 3...dunno. Oh well. Alexander Skwar -- Wohnung in Gelsenkirchen und Umgebung gesucht! iso-top.de - Die günstige Art an Linux Distributionen zu kommen Uptime: 5 hours 55 minutes

Well it looks like Juan has semi fixed it, but why replace the dash with a dot? Hm? Where did Juan semi fix it? And actually, your question is the wrong way around! RPM provides a Version field for a reason. And it used to work fine when Version still was version; or did I miss something? Yes! Can't you see this is a great innovation? Let's do the rest of the packages in cooker this way too! The adavantages are obvious: When you update a package, there's no need to think about the version in the changelog tag, it's always 1-1mdk! Stefan heh. Gotta love it.

If they are built from some private repository, PLEASE, move them to contrib. And why 2.4.13 is not removed from mirrors?

Yes, you are right, this makes things a lot easier! Hey, I've got another improvement: Do away with the version numbers completely. After all, they are just confusing the users :) Do kernel-1-1mdk *G* Alexander Skwar -- Wohnung in Gelsenkirchen und Umgebung gesucht! iso-top.de - Die günstige Art an Linux Distributionen zu kommen Uptime: 13 hours 22 minutes
