Pardon if this is wrong thread.. it concerns (Linux Pine64_B 3.10.104-1-pine64gmac-longsleep) kernel but on a gentoo install. Note the gmac variant.
Invoking /usr/local/sbin/pine64_update_kernel.sh results in:
------
Pine64_B gentoo # /usr/local/sbin/pine64_update_kernel.sh
Using Kernel variant: gmac
Checking for update ...
You are already on latest version - abort.
------
My sense of the update_kernel.sh script is that the presence of (VARIANTFILE="/var/lib/misc/pine64_update_kernel.variant") will prevent return/update to the standard longsleep kernel series. This may affect others who are using the gmac kernel variant.
Edit: Renaming the 'variant' file did allow an upgrade back to the standard kernel series.
Sincere thanks to the many who push to make all this happen and be fun and interesting.
