Kernel Naming Convention:

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Can anyone explain the kernel naming convention that kernel.org uses?
Additionally, the naming convention that Bill uses on the kernel rpms
that he creates.

For Example,
2.6.8-rc3-bk1

I know what the first part is, 2.6.8, but what does the rest mean?
