Just tried to build a 6.1.10 using the very latest woof-CE kernel-kit but all attempts so far have failed because of a failure to build the aufs-utils.

Strange... builds OK for me. What is the failure? What config are you using?

I am using the config from the last 6.0.12-FP build. This exact build configuration ran successfully 3 times previously, The log just shows the failure with the aufs-utils and not much more, This is on a local machine.

Glad to see they nominated an LTS - was thinking 6.2 (due in next 2 weeks) might be it, even though that would break the 'late in year' tradition.
@rockedge - I made myself a 6.1.10 overlay-only kernel 2 days ago (using my old methods), is fine, so kernel itself seems OK.

Try looking in /kernel-kit/build.log.bz2 ..................

I've been using 6.1.x from https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... kernel.yml (tracking the future Debian 12 kernel) for some time and it works nicely. Several issues were fixed recently and now dmesg looks clean. It's much bigger than the 5.10.x in Debian 11, though.
