System→Freeze(Disable Armbian kernel upgrades) not work for new kernel naming scheme.

Despite of just chosen "Freeze" function # apt list --upgradable shows

Hey,

• how does armbian-config freeze stuff? If it's apt-mark hold xxx...
• ... that doesn't prevent possible upgrades from being listed in apt list --upgradable ...
• ... but does prevent an actual apt upgrade from upgrading them.

Not saying we don't have some kind of problem with the version, but...

Ok so this is about armbian-config and how it actually freezes the packages. Do you know where the source for that feature lies?

[iav]

There https://github.com/armbian/config/blob/ce33cd38097a247158ca40746187c44732415699/debian-config-jobs#L958-L977

Seems it should work now. But it doesn't. And possible I found a reason: I use an edge kernel now. but ${BRANCH} in check code looks for current. Highly likely™ in past I just deinstall old kernel packages and install self-builded edge.

Then now question is "what should be a right".

[iav]

Should this code still look for branch at some config? or try to look for real?

[rpardini]

Yeah, I dunno. I'm under strict medical orders to not look into armbian-config source, so I can only speculate that it looks at the info produced by the bsp-cli package in /etc/armbian-release and similar. so if you installed an edge kernel with apt it might be... confused.

[iav]

okay. Thank you for co-operations. seems nothing should be fixed there. Sorry for disturb.

[rpardini]

🖖 You don't disturb at all. We've also BSPFREEZE=yes in build system so this actually helps
