Happy new 2023, I normally watch [1] for the next LTS linux-kernel which is for me an official site and for an official announcement. On the debian-kernel mailing list you read Linux 6.1 will be the official one for Debian-12 aka bookworm. I saw a phoronix article about EOL of Linux-4.9 [3] which points to [2]. [2] says: After being prompted on the kernel mailing list, Linux stable maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman commented: > I usually pick the "last kernel of the year", and based on the normal release cycle, yes, 6.1 will be that kernel. > But I can't promise anything until it is released, for obvious reasons. This is not a clear statement for me and was maybe at a point where 6.1 was not released. If you published a clear statement please point me to it. And if so, please update [1] accordingly. ( It dropped 4.9 from LTS list recently from [1] - guess Konstantin or someone from helpdesk did - so [1] is actively maintained. ) Please, a clear statement. Thanks. Regards, -Sedat- P.S.: Just for the records: I am not subscribed to LKML or linux-stable mailing-lists and may miss such a clear statement.
