[meta-raspberrypi][PATCH 0/2] Drop kernel versions 4.7 and 4.8

[meta-raspberrypi][PATCH 0/2] Drop kernel versions 4.7 and 4.8

[Paul Barker]

As discussed recently on the list, we can just keep LTS versions now
that v4.9 is available.

I'm sending these so anyone who still needs v4.7 or v4.8 can shout
'stop!' before we remove them.

+1 at least for 4.7 given that with today's repo I get this:

However, there is this error when I tried to switch to 4.9:

I think any upstream branch after 4.4.y is still at risk of being rebased at the minute. I think the best solution is to still drop 4.7.y and 4.8.y, but try to get an update in for 4.9.y first.

I totally agree with this. I left this thread for a while to see if
people are really attached to these versions. Our last decision was to
keep:
1. last LTS
2. current stable version as considered by the upstream [default]
3. the latest bleading edge

Based we should only keep 4.4 and 4.10 (or 4.9).

Ane comments before I proceed? :)

Re: [meta-raspberrypi][PATCH 0/2] Drop kernel versions 4.7 and 4.8

[Herve Jourdain]

Hi Gary,

I believe that we will see for 4.9 the same issues we had with 4.8, heavy
rebasing from the downstream.
I'm currently working with the upstream - plus patches - and I plan to have
a yocto build that would take the upstream source and add some patches,
instead of taking the downstream as a reference.
Is this an approach that could be interesting to people using yocto and
RaspberryPi? Any thoughts on that? Or another solution to remove the
dependency to the downstream and its constant rebasing?

Cheers,
Herve

However, there is this error when I tried to switch to 4.9:

Re: [meta-raspberrypi][PATCH 0/2] Drop kernel versions 4.7 and 4.8

[Herve Jourdain]

Hi Gary,

You get this because the patch to the latest 4.7 version have not been
merged...
4.7 has been stable for some time now, unlike 4.8 - and 4.9 will probably
have some similar issues, basically the downstream is heavily rebasing, so
revisions numbers are not reliable anymore.

I'm OK to remove 4.7, since I've branched it - and mine is working fine :)
I have no problem removing 4.8, since I moved from 4.7 to 4.9.

But I believe we might also want to remove 4.1, because it's really very
old, and select the next non-LTS version instead.
That would make it 4.4, 4.9 and next-kernel.

Cheers,
Herve

+1 at least for 4.7 given that with today's repo I get this:
