Summary0000954: Add additional kernel longterm release versions
DescriptionAccording to https://www.kernel.org/ there are currently multiple LTS versions.

It seems like elrepo only builds the LTS for 4.4. I have a use case for the 4.19.x LTS release as it contains some fixes for containers and whatnot that have not been backported to older versions.

I am currently using the kernel-ml packages however I would like to have the stability of a LTS release.

Having the ability to choose which LTS branch to install from would be awesome.

Here is the mailing list post that discusses the point you are asking:

Ah I see. If that post is still the current stance I will look into building it myself then.

If you are a CentOS user, there will be kernel-4.19. I see only armhfp now:

http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7.7.1908/kernel/

I assume x86_64 will be built sometime.

Perfect. Thanks for looking into this for me, I wouldn't have known where to start. This can be closed then.
