The OpenWrt Release Team would like to announce a fourth release

this release candidate will allow further refinement of 10.03.1

* 2.6.32 targets updated from 2.6.32.16 to 2.6.32.25


OpenWrt 10.03 is running 2.6.32.10, which is still ahead of kernel.org

stefan.bader at canonical.com is the branch/tree owner, ccd,
FYI to kernelnewbies.

Um, you are not looking at the correct stable kernel branch on
git.kernel.org.  I just released 2.6.32.33 the other day, so it looks
like you are just looking at an older kernel tree that has not been
updated.

good luck,

Nope, almost, but not quite.  For the .32 kernel, you want the
"longterm" kernel, it's at:
	http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/longterm/linux-2.6.32.y.git

Hope this helps,
