Devel Kernel Announcements
We have opened our yakkety kernel repo at the following location:
https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/yakkety
At this time is it just a copy of our Xenial kernel. We'll look to get this rebased to v4.6-rc6 (or newer) soon. We are still evaluating which kernel version to converge on for the 16.10 release.
