I’m new using Manjaro on an ARM device (rpi4). I like a lot the Sway Edition. I am not doing important things on this device so I switch to testing branch. I would also change the kernel to the latest stable (I have read that new drivers and incoming with 5.10 are very awesome), but I can’t find how to do it. Do you have any idea ?
I hope that my question is clear and well put. Thanks for your answers !
You will be notified when there is an update via the Package Manager but I post in this thread as soon as I push the latest to the unstable branch if you won’t to upgrade sooner.
In about a month when it makes it out of the -rc stage it will be moved to the linux-rpi4-mainline package so when it does you will have to install the linux-rpi4-mainline package if you still want to follow the 5.10 kernel.
The kernel and firmware get released when I compile and build the packages and push them.This occurs when the RPi people push their new kernel and firmware to their respective repo’s.
They released their new versions this mouring and I had everything compiled and packages built but I had to go to town as it is grocery shopping day for me. So I was not able to test and push the packages until I got back home.
I post all new kernel related packages here when they are ready. Also grab the 2 new bootloader packages and install them also.
Note: This will give the warning of a conflict with your existing kernel and headers. You will need to answer Y to have your current version removed and the rc version installed.
I am not for sure if the rc version is available in arm-stable. It may be only available in arm-testing and arm-unstable.
Thank you, that must be it. I didn’t realized there were different classifications for the kernels. So for future reference, there is RC and mainline? Where RC is considered to be a beta/test before mainline?
