<> ||<>|| == Tues August 30, 2016 == === Introduction === This newsletter is to provide a status update from the Ubuntu Kernel Team. There will also be highlights provided for any interesting subjects the team may be working on. If you would like to reach the kernel team. You can find us at the #ubuntu-kernel channel on FreeNode. Alternatively you can mail the Ubuntu Kernel Team mailing list at: kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com ----- === Devel Kernel Announcements === Our Yakkety kernel is currently based on v4.6.7. We briefly had a v4.6 based kernel in yakkety-proposed, but it was revoked due to it's lack of support for some arm64 platforms. We believe we have this resolved and will look to re-upload asap. [[https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/yakkety]] Our unstable branch has also been rebased to v4.8-rc4. [[https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/unstable]] Also, as noted in previous newsletters, we are also going to target a v4.8 based kernel for the 16.10 release. === Stable Kernel Announcements === {{{ Current cycle: 26-Aug through 17-Sep ==================================================================== 26-Aug Last day for kernel commits for this cycle 29-Aug - 03-Sep Kernel prep week. 04-Sep - 16-Sep Bug verification & Regression testing.. 19-Sep Release to -updates.
