[PATCH v2 2/5] docs: stable-kernel-rules: call mainline by its name and change example

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

 



Fine-tuning:

* s/Linus' tree/Linux mainline/, as mainline is the term used elsewhere
  in the document.

* Provide a better example for the 'delayed backporting' case that uses
  a fixed rather than a relative reference point, which makes it easier
  to handle for the stable team.
