Well, there's a single *from* version, as you say that was currently "next-20150731" (or that was the one you used). The backport git repository is maintained in lockstep with the *from* version (although there's usually quite a bit of wiggle room) The result, the output of backports, will/should compile against any kernel starting from the earliest supported, all the way up to the *from* version, right now I think that's 3.0 until 4.1 or so. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe backports" in
