Hi All, A brief update on where things stand in regards to the Fedora kernel. Greg KH recently announced that the 3.14.y stable kernel will be a longterm kernel release. Given that F19 is evidently very lightly used at this point, we're going to remain with 3.14.y until it goes EOL. At the moment, 3.14.8 is in stable updates with 3.14.11 in updates-testing. 3.14.12 is built in koji. Testing and karma on the updates-testing releases would be appreciated. F20 is currently at 3.15.4 with 3.15.5 being pushed likely later today. There have been a few regressions with intel video but hopefully those are starting to clear up. F20 will stay on 3.15.y likely until 3.16.1 or 3.16.2 is released. F21 branched from rawhide last week, but we're keeping the two branches in sync for now. Once 3.16 final is released, we'll evaluate where we are in both the Fedora and upstream kernel release cycles and see if 3.17 is a good candidate for F21. At the moment, we're planning on sticking with 3.16. Rawhide will continue to churn through upstream releases as usual. It is at 3.16-rc5 today. As side note, I never enabled slub debugging for the 3.16-rcX builds. Nobody noticed. It is possible the people that typically testing Rawhide kernels are always using the NoDebug repo (or booting with slub_debug=-), but I find it interesting that nobody noticed a speedup in the merge window kernels. Lastly, I recently wrote about the kernel-playground Copr. As of yesterday, it is on 3.16-rc5 and contains the latest kdbus and overlayfs v23. There have been a few questions about an F21 build, and I plan on doing that once F21 is available as a chroot in Copr. As always, if you have any questions please email the list. josh _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
