[11:31] <mkevac> Hi. I want to install latest kernel on my Ubuntu 16.10. I've found packages here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.10/, but there are no packages for perf util. And I am updating kernel for perf mostly.
[11:31] <mkevac> What is the simplest way to get latest kernel version with perf?
[11:34] <mkevac> As far as I understand next version of Ubuntu (Zeisty) has 4.10 kernel with correct perf packages, but I could not yet figure out how to use Zeisty repo for these packages only on my 16.10.
[11:36] <mkevac> This guy here has the same question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/875883/installing-perf-tools-with-custom-kernel
[11:40] <apw> mkevac, you likely do not want the packages from the mainline builds. those as you say do not include tools nor do they include any of the ubuntu delta
[11:42] <mkevac> How do I get latest stable kernel then? Or, let's simplify, how do I get 4.10 with perf on my 16.10?
[11:44] <apw> mkevac, we don't provide kernels for 16.10 like there.  there are kernels for 16.04 officially supplied, but not quite yet as 4.10 is only just arriving in zesty
[11:46] <apw> mkevac, you could potentially copy those kernels out of zesty into a PPA in xenial but you would have to do so manually
[11:46] <apw> mkevac, and there is no guarentee that perf will work with that userspace
[11:47] <mkevac> I'll try copying. Thank you.
[13:23] <mamarley> apw: Do you know when the mainline kernels are going to start being compiled on Zesty instead of Yakkety?  I'm just curious because I thought I had remembered them switching to Yakkety before this point when Yakkety was being developed.
[13:24] <apw> mamarley, normally it is the nearest release, so depends on the mainline version
[13:24] <apw> mamarley, which mainline one was on the wrong one ?
[13:25] <mamarley> apw: It is using the kernel config for Zesty, but it is compiling on Yakkety using the Yakkety toolchain (see http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.10/BUILD.LOG.amd64, for example)
[13:48] <apw> mamarley, that sounds wrong
[13:48] <apw> mamarley, i've added it to my list to investigate
[13:49] <mamarley> apw: OK, thanks!
[21:54] <dcnoderunner-t61> jsalisbury: Do you mind if I msg you?
[23:44] <theriesnocow> is there a page that has the testing process that happens before releasing a new kernel to LTS?
[23:59] <theriesnocow> no answer is an answer in itself :P
