"Ok, I've been slacking on the -stable front for a bit here, and didn't realize how far behind I've gotten. Everyone has been sending patches in, which is great, but now we are facing a HUGE 114 patch release," began Greg Kroah-Hartman. He continued:
"As there's no real way that everyone can review all of these patches, I've decided to split them up into 6 different categories, and will be sending patches out in these categories for review. If people can just glance over the ones in the areas they care about, I would really appreciate it."
The stable review resulted in six stable 2.6.23.y releases. The first, 2.6.23.2, contained bug fixes for the core kernel code. 2.6.23.3 contained bug fixes for architecture specific issues. 2.6.23.4 contained bug fixes for the core networking and wireless code. 2.6.23.5 contained bug fixes for networking drivers. 2.6.23.6 contained bug fixes for non-networking drivers. 2.6.23.7 contained file system bug fixes. These releases were followed by 2.6.23.8 containing a couple security fixes.
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...> Subject: warning, huge 2.6.23-stable review cycle about to start Date: Nov 15, 1:59 am 2007Ok, I've been slacking on the -stable front for a bit here, and didn't
realize how far behind I've gotten. Everyone has been sending patches
in, which is great, but now we are facing a HUGE 114 patch release.As there's no real way that everyone can review all of these patches,
I've decided to split them up into 6 different categories, and will be
sending patches out in these categories for review. If people can just
glance over the ones in the areas they care about, I would really
appreciate it.The 6 categories are:
- core kernel changes
- arch specific changes
- networking changes
- network driver changes
- non-network driver changes
- filesystemsConsider this a warning that your inbox is going to be filled up soon,
so everyone can prepare those filters :)thanks,

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...> Subject: Linux 2.6.23.8 Date: Nov 16, 2:37 pm 2007We (the -stable team) are announcing the release of the 2.6.23.8 kernel.
It contains a few serious security fixes, as well as a raft of other
bugfixes and stuff from the last 2.6.23.1 kernel release.Wait, what happened to versions 2.6.23.2 - 7 you might ask? Well, they
too are released, and I'll be responding to this message with those
individual changelogs and diffs. They corrispond to the different patch
groups that I sent out for review of the stable tree in order to handle
the huge number of overall patches. This way, if problems occur, it
will be easier for people to track down where the regression might have
happened.I'll also be replying to this message with a copy of the patch between
2.6.23.7 and 2.6.23.8The updated 2.6.23.y git tree can be found at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.23.y.git
