And if you waited a few more hours, you would have seen it show up. That was due to an issue on my end (not near my 2-factor auth key), so I couldn't push the tag. > The result is that in Linux kernel git repositories which only have stable > as origin linux-3.16.y currently describes itself as: > > v3.16-rc7-115-g19583ca > > which doesn't look like a suggested stable kernel. Don't rely on the linux-stable kernel repo to always have an updated version of Linus's tree in it, that is _not_ it's goal or requirement. I'll update it when I remember, and yes, sometimes I forget to push the tags. It's not a big deal, just use Linus's tree if you want the latest version of his tree, don't rely on my to keep it in sync for you, you could do it all on your own on your end if you really wanted it. > I really suggest to use a script to create new linux-3.x.y branches and add > the necessary tag(s) to it, even if the script would just contain 2 lines. > ;) I can't 'add' a tag, I must pull and push Linus's tags, and no, I don't use a script for all of that, it's not needed, and in this case, it wouldn't have helped anything anyway. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
