linux-2.6-stable.git abandoned?

[Mathias Krause]

Hi,

the repository at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6-stable.git was last updated 3 weeks ago and because of this it's missing v2.6.34.7. Not to mention master is behind, too. Just wanted to ask what the status of this repository is?

Regards,
Mathias

Yes, I was wondering about this too.

Hmmm, looking at:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6-stable.git;a=summary

The last change went 3 weeks ago into this git repository.

Cheers,
Stefan

Try:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.34.y.git

if you want 2.6.34 updates.

Actually, I use the first repo above for stable updates too because it
conveniently contains all 2.6.3x releases. Isn't that one the official
combined repo for stable updates? Can we have some clarification from
the -stable team on which repo we should take?

Thanks.

The "combined" tree is automagically generated by some script on
kernel.org and I have no control over it at all, sorry.  If it's not
working properly, poke the kernel.org admins.

I use the individual kernel trees for all of the "development" of the
stable releases, so you can be sure that those work as they are the ones
needed to generate the release.

hope this helps,
