I would say that the variable should be named 'linux-libre-4.2', which would always be bound to the latest 4.2.x. However, there's another problem: the 4.2 branch is no longer supported upstream, so it will no longer receive security updates and other important fixes. I suggest that we instead add linux-libre-4.1, which is still supported upstream and is designated as an LTS branch. Would that be okay? Another issue is that the kernel config for 4.3 is being used here. I guess maybe that's working well enough in this case, but really our kernel packages should be refactored somewhat to make this nicer. One more thing: Francis Rowe told me that the coreboot developers have determined that this is a bug on their side, and libreboot will cherry-pick the fix soon, if it hasn't already. Thanks! Mark
