## Device package template
For a consistent packaging setup, we recommend following this template when
using the generic kernels in a device package:
```shell
subpackages="
$pkgname-kernel-stable:kernel_stable
$pkgname-kernel-lts:kernel_lts
$pkgname-kernel-mainline:kernel_mainline
"
...
kernel_stable() {
pkgdesc="Stable kernel (recommended, best balance between stability and features)"
depends="linux-postmarketos-stable"
devicepkg_subpackage_kernel $startdir $pkgname $subpkgname
}
kernel_lts() {
pkgdesc="Long-term maintainance kernel (most stability, not all security fixes & new features)"
depends="linux-postmarketos-lts"
devicepkg_subpackage_kernel $startdir $pkgname $subpkgname
}
kernel_mainline() {
pkgdesc="Upstream development kernel (regular breakage, latest features)"
depends="linux-postmarketos-mainline"
devicepkg_subpackage_kernel $startdir $pkgname $subpkgname
}
```
