[PATCH 00/86] [ANNOUNCE] The new 3.6.11.x short-term extended stable series (stable review)

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

 



Currently, the latest stable PREEMPT_RT patch is based off of 3.6.11.
As 3.6 is no longer supported by the stable Linux maintainers, this
release has been neglected, and its unfortunate that its the latest
of the -rt stable series.

I have decided to create a stable series that extends 3.6.11, and will
be of the form 3.6.11.x. I want to stress that this is a temporary
series, and will not be for long term. I will be pulling in patches from
3.4 and 3.8 stable releases as I find time.

I will host the 3.6.11.x patches at:

  https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.6/stable/

Nothing is there yet.

Below is the format of the announcements I will make for the 3.6.11.x
stable reviews. This being the first of the series.

Again, I want to stress that this is not a long term stable release.
I will only support 3.6.11.x until 3.8-rt becomes stable. At which
time I will drop support for both 3.6.11.x as well as 3.6-rt.

-- Steve


This is the start of the stable review cycle for 3.6.11.1 release.
There are 86 patches in this series, which will be posted as responses
to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please
let me know.

Responses should be made by Fri Mar 29 2013.
Anything received after that time might be too late.
