This is partly due to lack of time to keep it current on my part, but also due to the fact that adding new kernels to the version running on lxr.linux.no is a bit more time and resource-consuming than it ought to be. Better support for both incremental indexing and git-based repos is forthcoming, and I hope the situation will improve a bit with that. I'll keep you posted. -- Arne.
