We can see that, the latest kernel stable is 3.9.4, and the mainline is 3.10-rc2 and there is an EOF say 3.8.13 and a longterm 3.4.47, and a linux-next I have several questions: 1.When we see a patch on linux kernel mailing list, which kernel version is it based on?(seems never exsists a description in the patch) 2.What should we do if we whant to send a patch for different kernel version? 3.If a 3.x-rc turn out to be stable, is it going to be 3.x.1? 4.There is no 3.10 in linus' tree, what exactly is linus' tree? 5.Is linux-next a preview of the next mainline version? In this case 3.10-rc3 Thanks everybody for answering. -- Best regards, Jimmy Pan Email: dspjmt@gmail.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
