For the record, I still use 2.6.35 which is the newest kernel supporting BLCR presently available in NixoOS (BLCR needs kernels <= 2.6.38). By the way, for what I can say, this makes NixOS the only distribution which currently supports easily BLCR (just add two lines in configuration.nix). Seems th

Hi, I think initially some of the old kernels were re-added by a colleague of mine to allow continuous integration testing of a kernel module against a variety of Linux versions. It’s no longer used, but that kind of use may still make sense. Thanks, Ludo’. _

2012-11-18 Thread Mathijs Kwik
Is anyone still using linux 2.6.15 or 2.6.35 or 3.1 or 3.3 or 3.5 ? If not, we should probably take them out, as they won't be receiving updates any more. As for 2.6.35, a downgrade to 2.6.34 or 2.6.32 would do the trick, they receive long-time support. 2.6.32 is in nixpkgs already, 2.6.34 isn't.
