Regards, Antonio Hi Antonio, I too would like to see an archive of the kernel-ml kernels. It will help if we know in what situation older versions of kernel-ml are desired/needed. As you are all aware, kernel-ml is offered for testing purposes only. Running it in production may cause security issues unless it is kept up-to-date. Technically, we may be able to keep a few versions in the archival area if requested. Akemi Just an update on this request. After some discussion we have established that it is possible to provide an archive of the kernel repository containing the kernel-ml packages. There was some hesitancy on our behalf given the security implications associated with older outdated kernels, but given our disclaimers already in place and the fact that providers such as Red Hat have no issue in keeping older packages indefinitely available to users, we shall endeavour to do likewise. To this end setting up of a kernel archive is in progress. It will appear on mirrors that currently carry the elrepo archive (for a list please see the Download section: http://elrepo.org/tiki/Download for mirrors with archive appended). We will endeavour to retrieve old packages from backups where possible to populate the archive and will archive current kernel-ml packages moving forward. Again we stress these packages are not intended for production use and that older versions will likely contain security issues so use at your own risk.

Re: [elrepo] How long does kernel release stay in the downloads area?
Hello Alan, I see that there are now a few previous versions of the El Repo built kernel and wanted to thank you. This really helps in the verification of my builds against a third party since they are able to test with the same kernel I used when I made my build. This is very much appreciated. And I understand these kernels are for development purposes and will do heavy testing if I use otherwise. Thank you and best regards, Antonio On Thu, Oct 4, 2012 at 11:05 AM, Alan Bartlett a...@elrepo.org wrote: A couple of quick comments from me.

A couple of quick comments from me. An upstream bug-fix to kernel-ml-3.5.4-1.el6.elrepo, that is kernel-ml-3.5.5-1.el6.elrepo, is currently in the build-queue and will be released later today.
