INFO about the SRPM build possibilities and rpm availability:
For ROSA Marathon we'll build Kernels LTS: 3.0, 3.2, 3.4, and all the latest kernels up to the 3.11 series
For ROSA Fresh we are building all Kernel versions starting only from the 3.6 up to the most recent series
For "Cooker" we are building all Kernel versions starting only from the 3.8 up to the most recent series
For old distros Mandriva 2010 and 2011, we are maintaining build compatibility: you can also rebuild,
but we CANNOT prepare the rpms for You, as we have no chance to build with ABF or in our own PCs

Image Notice for the users of MDV 2011!
Some problems could still occour in Mandriva 2011 by dracut remaining problems with installation and update
these problems if / when happen are not our fault, because aren't related to the kernel contents or packaging...

Once I succeeded to solve this ugly problem, installing the "dracut" version from RM2012 repositories into 2011
ROSA 2012 LTS - x64
http://abf.rosalinux.ru/downloads/kerne ... n/release/

ROSA 2012 LTS - x32

Mandriva 2010.2 - x64 - It will be released when possible...
