Subject: Future of Linux 2.6.22.y series
 [1]Date: Nov 5, 2:13 pm 2007

For the last release, I stated that I thought the 2.6.22.12 release
would be the last one in the 2.6.22.y series.  Since then, I've received
a number of other patches that would be nice to have in the .22.y tree.

So, for a while, I'll keep the 2.6.22.y tree open, doing new releases
every once in a while as they accumulate.  I do this, for no other than
the selfish reason that I use it every day on my openSuSE 10.3 boxes as
that is the kernel base that release is on :)

If anyone has any objections or questions about this, please let me
know.

thanks,

greg k-h

It certainly is one of the most valuable reasons. If all people were
"selfish" enough to contribute what they do only for themselves, we
would possibly have less out-of-tree code.

Oh no, please keep it going on for as long as you want, I'll rebase my
version on it instead of 2.6.20.y ;-)

Thanks,

Subject: [patch 0/9] 2.6.22-stable review
 [1]Date: Nov 2, 1:37 pm 2007

This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 2.6.22.12 release.
There are 9 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response to
this one.  If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please let
us know.  If anyone is a maintainer of the proper subsystem, and wants
to add a Signed-off-by: line to the patch, please respond with it.

This should be the last 2.6.22-stable release unless we missed something
major and people complain loudly that we need to do another release.

These patches are sent out with a number of different people on the Cc:
line.  If you wish to be a reviewer, please email stable@kernel.org [2]
to add your name to the list.  If you want to be off the reviewer list,
also email us.

Responses should be made by Monday, Nov 5, 2007, 16:00:00 UTC.  Anything
received after that time might be too late.

thanks,

the -stable release team
