Subject: [PATCH] gnu: linux-libre: add linux-libre-stable &
 linux-libre-longterm

A project I'm involved with would find it convenient to have pointers to
the current stable / longterm kernel header branches, without having to
specify an exact version. This way, we can point to i.e the longterm
branch, and with each time-machine "bump", continue to have whatever the
current longerm branch happens to be. So I'm submitting this patch for
discussion / inclusion. Obviouly one overhead is remembering to keep
these variables in sync whenever the status of the longterm/stable
branches changes.

* gnu/packages/linux (linux-libre-stable): New variable.
  (linux-libre-longerm): New variable.

The package named 'linux-libre' is by definition the latest stable
kernel:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/linux.scm?id=22a34ea792ef0df15fd30d46f557b572c61d5404#n513

Should we add an alias for it?

We also have a package called 'linux-libre-lts', which is supposed to be
the most recent kernel with long-term support.

I think the phrasing "longterm" is more idiomatic for Linux, so we could
replace the -lts package with a -longterm package if people prefer that.

This wasn't requested... I guess the main use here is using older kernels.

Michael, did you know about 'linux-libre-lts' ? It seems it would suite
your 'linux-libre-longterm' request well?

Sorry, I had forgotten we already had -lts.  I guess we're already
covered then.

For the linux-libre-headers, I agree that the current situation is odd
at best; it should be renamed to linux-libre-headers/pinned or
something, since it's propagated by our build toolchain if I recall
correctly and entails a world rebuild.

linux-libre-headers could then point to the latest and greatest,
in sync with linux-libre.

Does that make sense?  Renaming the package variable shouldn't cause any
rebuild.

Maxim
