Hey Etta!

I like this better than the last kv-6.16.0 root/boot, mpstly because of gpm mouse on the console. Also note the brand spanking new gcc.

I noticed that too. My desktop is 6.16.0 but I've held the others at 6.15.* for now.

Indeed, I think GCC needed an update for glibc-2.42.

Hey Alan!

I noticed that too. My desktop is 6.16.0 but I've held the others
at 6.15.* for now.

I considered doing the same but opted out for 6.15.9 due to the mouse thingy. It works, and probably is safer for cut n' pasting on the commandline, but I was more annoyed than having a secure feeling.

Indeed, I think GCC needed an update for glibc-2.42.

A recent 15.1.1 snapshot also works.

I decided to follow your lead and get used to the mouse cut `n paste commandline thingy. I liken it to 'a chamber of sober second thought' nothing like the Canadian Senate but I couldn't come up with anything better at the moment.

The above kernel took around 38 minutes, building and packaging (tar.xz), on a 16 penguin EPYC processor. The fastest I currently have - a 16 penguin Ryzen 7 - accomplished the same task in roughly 33 minutes.

I have moved everything upto 6.16.1 now as well. That cut 'n paste thing kind of boggles my muscle memory but I'm getting used to it.. ;)

I haven't timed it but I think it takes about the same here. My desktop has just two penguins and my BBS machine and laptop have four. I'll get upgraded here at some point!

Well put. The above speaks to me.

BBS machine and laptop have four.

I've forgotten about the laptop. It also has four. I haven't used it for awhile and probably should get it up to speed. I am not fond of laptops but in this case it makes a good platform for testing mobile gps apps that I haven't played with in quite some time now. Not sure why that is given all the past work I put into it.

I'll get upgraded here at some point!

Me too. I seriously doubt it'll be a threadripper or anything in that class but I think I've seen enough of mini-PCs and would more than likely go for a lowpower draw mini-itx based system. I am not holding my breath though and the current plan is to make do with what I have. The wireless hotpots (two) seem to be fairly stable. Nobody is complaining ... yet.

if it compiles well with gcc 1.0 its stable c++ code :)

dovecot add incompatible config changes to 2.4, this means for me and my custommers downtime, or i need to make a new dovecot server, where the old postfix server stay, since postfix do not make incompatible config changes

dumm people in finland :)

For sure.

However since then I broke down and am deploying kv-6.16.x kernels again.

Myself, I'd settle for gcc 4 with straight c code. Good luck with that. :-(

dovecot add incompatible config changes to 2.4,

The heathen bastards!!!

i just keep it gentoo, others try pentoo :)

gentoo maintainers will keep 2.3 if it 2.4 fails to much, qestions if dovecot maintainers dont care, if i find to many bugs in dovecot i will redo with cyrus-imapd

but this require me to make a new mail storage host, and raise my deploy price :/

Hej Benny!

again.

No but I didn't wish to be caught with an EOL kernel and didn't want to fall back to the latest longterm 6.12.x kernel. I seem to prefer playing with the latest.

i just keep it gentoo, others try pentoo :)

pentoo? Is this one of gentoo's bastard children? Is gentoo turning into debian?

but this require me to make a new mail storage host, and raise my
deploy price :/

That can and does happen.
