Subject: How is different version of kernel developped
Date: Sun, 26 May 2013 12:41:47 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130526044147.GB8627@sl63.deity> (raw)
Hi,
I am wondering how different version of kernel is discussed on kernel mailing list.
We can see that, the latest kernel stable is 3.9.4, and the mainline is 3.10-rc2 and there is an EOF say 3.8.13 and a longterm 3.4.47, and a linux-next
I have several questions:
1.When we see a patch on linux kernel mailing list, which kernel version is it based on?(seems never exsists a description in the patch)
2.What should we do if we whant to send a patch for different kernel version?
3.If a 3.x-rc turn out to be stable, is it going to be 3.x.1?
4.There is no 3.10 in linus' tree, what exactly is linus' tree?
5.Is linux-next a preview of the next mainline version? In this case 3.10-rc3
Thanks everybody for answering.
