Packages
Upgraded
- k/kernel-source-5.15.0_smp-noarch-1.txz
We'll be using 5.15.x in the 15.0 release, and it's working well here, so
let's just start it right out in the main tree rather than in /testing.
The primary differences with the previous (5.14.15) kernel:
The default preemption mode is changed to “voluntary”.
Added CONFIG_CEC_GPIO=m (thanks to LuckyCyborg). - l/poppler-21.11.0-i586-1.txz
Shared library .so-version bump. - xap/mozilla-firefox-91.3.0esr-i686-1.txz
