The Latest Kernel Release.
As suggested by Monsieur Didier Spaier, a Slackware Forum thread dedicated to Linux kernel release testing.
The 4.4.43 kernel has been released. The change log, https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/ker...angeLog-4.4.43 Also, the 4.9.4 kernel has been issued. Still no word on whether or not it will be the next long term release. The change log, https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/ker...hangeLog-4.9.4 |
Thanks Cwiz' I'm inclined to agree: a dedicated thread for us "kernel watchers" is probably better than littering the current-requests thread with kernel news.
Right then... Off to build 4.9.4 I go!... P.S. FWIW, 4.9.y series has proven solid for me so far. |
Announcing Dave's Unofficial SlackBuilt Kernels -- https://blog.idlemoor.tk/dusk/
4.4.43 for x86_64 is already available at https://dusk.idlemoor.tk/linux-4.4/x86_64/ The others (4.4.43 for i686, and 4.9.4 for x86_64 and i686) should follow in the next couple of hours This is entirely automatic and still quite experimental. Testing? I've heard of it. Feedback welcome ;) |
A configs/ directory on that site would be a nice addition. :)

Haha, I literally just built 4.9.3 this morning, upgrading from the last 4.8 release. Oh well, at least I don't have to go through choosing features in the 'make oldconfig' process again. :)
PS Don't ask me why I'm keeping up with the latest kernel release. I guess I just enjoy it for some reason. |

Edit, I'm going to stick with kernel 4.4.x since the proprietary legacy nVidia R340 drivers/modules won't build on kernel 4.9.x. |
MFW I see Greg releasing a new stable kernel just after three days from the previous one with the note: "All users of the 4.9 kernel series must upgrade."
