Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2010 07:10:09 +0200 From: Geoffrey Said <geoffrey@...com> To: stable@...nel.org Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, greg@...ah.com Subject: Long maintenance kernel versions. To whom it may concern. I would like to put forward the following questions. Hope that I am not making a fool of myself! How is the procedure by which a certain kernel version is declared as a long maintenance version? Is the version decided before or after the release of the stable kernel? And where can I check for planned long term maintenance versions? I am asking the above questions because we are migrating our Linux OS to the 2.6.34 kernel and we have learned that this will not be actively maintained and we are advised to switch to the 35 one. Since a lot of effort has been put to migrate to the 2.6.34 kernel and a lot of testing has been done, it is frustrating to hear the above news. >From our point of view it would be nice to declare a version log term maintenance before or at least on release so that we can migrate between long-term kernels.
