Kernel Upgrade

Drakaen391

I thought I would see if there is anyone who has upgraded their kernel to the latest kernel 4.7?

With security issues that I have seen I thought I would ask before deciding to patch or upgrade.

Unless I'm mistaken, there aren't yet packages for kernels beyond 4.4 so doubtful many people have.

Actually there is... All my systems except Retropie run 4.7

I just have not upgraded it yet

4.4 is just the long term, however it has major security flaws in it, my RPi server even runs 4.7 specifically because of the security flaws

Ah, well I stand corrected!

Can I see your /etc/apt/sources.list and anything in /sources.list.d? I'm curious why I don't see one.

I will copy and paste it later...

Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
