Stable Kernel Updates
The Ubuntu Kernel Team provides a git repo available to the greater Linux community which provides stable patches for certain versions of the Linux kernel.
Repository
The repository is available at git://kernel.ubuntu.com/<location> (TODO: location to be defined, may be stable/linux-stable.git?), and has the following branches:
master |
tracks the Linus master tree |
linux-<version>.y |
stable tree for linux <version> release, final patches releases go to this |
linux-<version>.y-review |
last release of stable tree for <version> release, with patches on top to be considered and reviewed for next stable release for <version> series |
linux-<version>.y-queue |
last release of stable tree for <version> release, with patches on top already reviewed and ready to go, that will be released with next <version> stable update |
Builds
We will be hooking the stable tree up with our automated build and testing infrastructure. The built binaries will be available for download and installation.
