| 00:35.48 | DocScrutinizer05 | I just don't get it, no matter how hard I try. You can choose to build a armel or a armhf system. You could use powerlernel or a recent 4.x kernel with poor support for some of N900 peripherals. When you deliberately choose to use incompatible armhf and mainline kernel 4.x, why would you want to run maemo apps on it. Or the other way around: when you want to run maemo apps, why don't you run them on maemo (== armel-powerkernel)? |
| 01:10.47 | DocScrutinizer05 | even with a 4.x mainline kernel you're still free to choose armel arch |

| 02:10.07 | Maxdamantus | Well, in the long run it'll be kind of sucky if people have to use kernels from non-mainline sources. |
| 02:11.28 | Maxdamantus | like how if you want to use zfs, you're meant to apply some patches first or build some module out of tree. |

| 03:07.45 | Maxdamantus | As for "If you want a new kernel, I wonder why", afaik we're sort of forced to use really old software with our current kernel. |
| 03:08.27 | Maxdamantus | Since recent versions of glibc don't support a kernel this old, and that's what distributors are targetting. |
