Devs,
I've noticed kernels stay stuck in core-testing longer than they used to. In the past (unless there was some minor version change), they usually stayed in testing a day or less. The past couple have lingered nearly a week and linux 6.8.7.arch1-2 x86_64 has been there a few days?
That's great to ensure there are no issue with other packages that depend on building drivers from the kernel, but does raise the question for the curios -- "What's up?"
I ask for scheduling purposes. I monitor the newsfeeds from the package repos and when I see a new kernel coming, I try and set aside a convenient time for the update/reboot. Past few kernels, I've done that only to find - they are still in testing.
Not a complaint, just a curiosity.
Haven't paid the closest attention, but I do try to update first thing every morning, and I've not noticed this. With LTS kernels, those I've seen linger a bit. ~ Null
