Raspberry Pi kernel rename coming soon

Postby graysky » Sun Nov 28, 2021 12:20 pm

In a rebranding move, we are changing the names of the two kernel packages for the RPi series of devices to more adequately represent the intended platform.

linux-raspberrypi --> linux-rpi-legacy (RPi 1, Zero, Zero W only)
linux-raspberrypi4 --> linux-rpi

Once the new packages are built and hit your mirror, pacman should automatically handle it by asking you if you would like to replace the old package with the new one. Say Y to proceed.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
...
loading packages...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
:: linux-rpi and linux-raspberrypi4 are in conflict (kernel26). Remove linux-raspberrypi4? [y/N]
')

A friendly reminder to optionally diff key files you may have modified (/boot/config.txt and /boot/cmdline.txt for example) before rebooting.

MOD NOTE - split out comments from original announcement into this thread.
