Subject: Wanted: hotfixes for -mm kernels
Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2006 15:00:18 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200602021502_MC3-1-B772-547@compuserve.com> (raw)
Most -mm kernels have small but critical bugs that are found shortly
after release. Patches for these are posted on linux-kernel but
they aren't made available on kernel.org until the next -mm release.
Would it be possible to create a hotfix/ directory for each -mm
release and put those patches there? A README could explain that
the fixes are untested. At least people reading the files could
see an issue exists even if they're not brave enough to try the
patch. :)
