[...] idea regarding multiple kernels: maybe pmbootstrap will be able to offer the user a choice at some point; I think the way pacman handles multiple providers is nice, and such a mechanism could be unified for choosing between DE, kernel and other components.
While we can't implement that at the package manager level (apk
) that easily, we can do it in pmbootstrap init
. We could use the same mechanism with subpackages to choose the different kernels like we do from now on with the nonfree
packages (#1254).
