Subject: Let's make a small change to the process
Date: Tue, 26 Oct 2004 22:16:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4d8e3fd304102613165b2fb283@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,
despite I know you are all bored with the " I know how to improve the
process" email but I want to share with you this idea .-)
Both Andrew and Linus are doing an impressive job so I really don't
think we need to change the way they are working.
What I'm suggesting is start offering 2.6.X:Y kernel, you did for 2.6.8.1 so...
The .Y patchset contains only important security fix (all stuff you
think are important) and is weekly uploaded to kernel.org
Doing that, people:
- can stop running "personal version of vanilla kernel
- don't need to wait till next Linus' release in order to have a
security bug fixed
We, of course, need a maintainer for it,
maybe someone from OSDL (Randy?), maybe wli (he maintained his tree
for a long time), maybe Alan (that is already applying these kind of
fixes to his tree), maybe someone else... ?
Sounds reasonable ?
