[cooker] Tidy up kernels

Hi,

i have a suggestion to tidy up our kernel repositories. Currently we have
these:
openmandriva/kernel
openmandriva/kernel-rt
openmandriva/kernel-rc
openmandriva/kernel4.17
openmandriva/kernel4.18
openmandriva/kernel-rpi3
openmandriva/kernel-linus
openmandriva/kernel-release
openmandriva/kernel-wandboard
openmandriva/kernel-sabreboard
openmandriva/kernel-release-clang
openmandriva/acer_switch_12_alpha_kernel

I'd like to propose to:
1. rename openmandriva/kernel to openmandriva/linux
2. provide linux named packages rather than kernel i.e linux-desktop,
linux-server etc.
3. Move openmandriva/kernel-release to openmandriva/linux
4. Drop from abf and github openmandriva/kernel-rt openmandriva/kernel-rc
openmandriva/kernel4.17 openmandriva/kernel4.18 openmandriva/kernel-linus
openmandriva/kernel-release

WDYT ?

  1. suggest to leave openmandriva/kernel as it is

  2. drop all unused repos like kernel-rt,rc etc

linux is official name not kernel, so it breaks our name policy :slight_smile:

Hi,
looks good to me with the exception that we shouldn't remove kernel-rc, that's actually a very useful one.

kernel-rt might also be worth reviving at some point, but what's there right now is useless, so that would be a "remove and create from scratch" if/when we need it anyway.

4.17 and 4.18 can definitely go, we kept those around because c64 wouldn't boot with later versions, but that has been fixed for a long time.

I feel we should retain kernel-rt for those play with audio application who need minimum latency.
