Hi,
lots of people in various SIGs and user side projects are keen on bringing up a mainline kernel, that tracks upstream closer than the distro kernel does.
I'd like to start a conversation around which kernel we might be able to maintain as a group, that also helps most people solve the problems they are looking at.
3.18 seems to be the stable-release at the moment, but given that 3.19 is just around the corner, should we try and aim for that ?
Hi,
The biggest question is indeed what version the SIG's need. Are they ok with the latest longterm release (currently 3.14) or do they want the latest stable (currently 3.18) (https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html)? Ideally we can get everyone agree on one specific kernel.
The elrepo kernel seem like a nice starting point to do this.
Johnny thought so, too. :-) And he created and has been maintaining the 3.10 kernel for Xen4CentOS for CentOS-6. The same should be easily done for a newer version.
