I'm back from Limbo! Thanks to Hauke for taking on backports while I was gone and to Johannes for taking on the first seires of SmPL patches. This series takes what I saw was pending on the backports mailing list and also puts out what I have been working on in collaboration with the folks at LIP6, in particular Julia Lawall, on the helping automate backport the Linux kernel further. I've put together a lenghty write up [0] of the series of changes that have been ongoing on the Linux backports project [1] which I hope can serve as both some form of ramp up education on using Coccinelle and writing grammar rules in Semantic Patch Language (SmPL) but also concerte evidence of how this technology can help us scale Linux and scale Linux backporting and extend the way we do automatic backporting. This also puts us in synch with next-20140311 and I have some small changes which lets us create a linux-3.14.y branch ready for release provided I don't hear back with any issues or qualms observed. All this obviously goes compile tested against the last 30 Linux kernel releases. At the Linux Collaboration Summit and on elsewhere I've been beeing poked about backports and if anyone was working on it and will continue to do so. There were some isues which I needed to get resolved, its all done and I'm back, now at SUSE. Now at SUSE I have other responsibilities but I'm going going to continue to extend backports but with a slightly different set of requirements and considerations, one of them being focusing on kernels >= 3.0. I understand there is still huge interest in upkeeping support for older kernels, I don't plan on removing those immediately but with your help I think we should strive to build consensus on only using kernels listed on kernel.org. The flexibility provided by Linux backports can hopefully be used to help persuade folks to abandon unsupported kernels. This won't happen overnight, but that's the goal. If you want to test all this agains the latest master branch you can wget the all in one series of patches [2] and git am it.
