Discussion about linux-rpi rebrand

[quark]

It doesn't offer to upgrade the custom kernel that I just made, but it's running the same version. Yesterday when I compiled the kernel for Zero it was 5.10.81-1 and today it's -3. So I'll know on the next kernel update.

I'm now a little lost, what happens to my installed "linux-aarch64" package ?
Is this also replaced by linux-rpi package ?
And is linux-rpi now always aarch64 ? or is armv7h still possible ? How to switch/force ?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('graysky', ' ')Arch Linux does have a news feed whereas this project does not. I will continue to use the Announcement section here as a surrogate.

why would gpu_mem=16 break the boot? Checked it in documentation, it's still a non-deprecated flag.

[quark]

I have no idea. I am pretty sure both the Zero and 2 didn't boot with gpu_mem=16. Had to remove it from config.txt.
Did you try it after this update?
edit: I just tried it right now on the Zero and it fails to boot. LED blinks a bit at first and then stops and nothing else happens. A bit more complicated to try it again on the 2. Let's wait for updates.
I'm not really mad about it. I was a bit, yesterday, as I thought something was wrong with my sdcards and lost some time, but else I'm pretty happy with this project.

2nd edit: just so it's clear I think it's from the recent naming move, not from upstream. I think devs still need to sort things out and it will work again on the next update.

[checkmate]

I'm yet to reboot and wanted to wait for your feedback.
I'll try it at the weekend without the flag. Once this works, I'll try with it.
I'm on 3B+. Manually installed linux-rpi now after -Syu gave me linux-rpi-legacy.
So my findings might not be applicable for your setup. Will update on Sunday.

Thanks!

I just reverted to my older custom kernel on the Zero and gpu_mem=16 works fine, boots right up. So it's something in the new kernel, maybe something in the config.
If you compare the two configs, before and after the update maybe it's clear what's breaking it. Might try it later.
