[Etherlab-users] Suse kernel version chaos

[Merkel, Amos]

Hi everyone,

I have problems with the etherlab-repository under open-suse 15.4:

Ethercat-kmp-rt links against a kernel-rt package 5.14.21. The main repository supplies kernel-rt 5.3.18, kernel-rt 5.14.21 is found in an sle repository. However, this kernel is missing some drivers relevant to me (peak CAN drivers) and there are no fitting kernel-header / kernel-source packages for this kernel version, so I can't build the necessary kernel modules myself.

The kernel incompatibilities are probably a topic for the maintainers of the sle kernel-rt, but I would like to ask why the ethercat packages are not linked against the realtime kernel in the main repository? Is this intentional or maybe a configuration problem in the open build service? I am by no means a linux expert, maybe I am missing something obvious?

All the best,
Amos
