PATCH 3/3 linux-headers: drop old unsupported 4.x versions

In reply to Bernd Kuhls

These versions received their last updated more than three months ago and are no longer supported according to
https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html, so drop them and add legacy entries.

I think it makes more sense to automatically select some *older* kernel headers. Indeed, if the user was using 4.10 kernel headers, presumably he is using some 4.10/4.11/4.12 kernel, so if we upgrade the kernel headers to 4.14... the new build may not work at runtime, the kernel headers being more recent than the running kernel.

So instead for 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 and 4.13, I've changed to select the 4.9 kernel headers instead.

Applied to next with this change.

Thanks!

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

when preparing this patch I searched for previous removals of kernel versions for orientation on how to handle the legacy options and found this patch/commit by Peter where he upgraded the versions:

Hmm, that was a mistake. I must have missed that we still had an entry for 3.2.

I think it makes more sense to automatically select some *older* kernel headers.

Except it is not allowed to select a choice entry anyway.

I'll send a patch removing the selects, since they do not work...

I've applied to next, but after cherry-picking 59af8a3a223d2d5fdd6496ef59b79be38d957df5 from master, so only the 4.18.5 update remained.

It would be nice if Fabio and you could hold off a bit on Linux 4.18 updates, until next gets merged back into master after 2018.08. Indeed for now, doing all those 4.18 updates is not that important, we will have plenty of time before 2018.11 is released to update to the latest 4.18 (and possibly 4.19) before the release. In general, I don't mind getting those updates regularly, but right now, with the master/next split, it's just causing merge conflicts every time, for no great benefit.

Of course, updates to < 4.18 for master are more than welcome!

Thanks!

Thomas
