Linux image xhydra

We’ve been made new metapackages for HydraPWK.

What Is this for?

If you know about metapackages like linux-image-amd64 on Debian, linux-image-xhydra Acting same (do same job) as a metapckages for kernel update, and it will make easier for us (me) for giving an update.

With hope, making it easier when updating, so you don’t need to manually choosing kernel version, just use apt for upgrading kernel for HydraPWK.

If you using new IMAGE/ISOs (hydrapwk-2025.02.250817233-yellowdog-T1) you could skip this step.

Installing linux-image-xhydra on your HydraPWK machine

...
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y linux-image-xhydra
...

Drop support.

With this we drop support (discontinued) for the release of Hydrapwk with the release of the code 'Transition' (2025.01.6.5.*) Debian Trixie base, and we could fully working for HydraPWK yellowdog release!.

And with that’s, good bye transition!.
