Canonical's Ubuntu kernel team is pleased to announce that we will be providing extended stable support for the Linux 4.2 kernel until August 2016 as a third party effort maintained on our infrastructure. Our linux-4.2.y{-queue,-review} stable branches will fork from v4.2.8 and will be published here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/linux.git We will use the same stable request/review workflow and follow the standard upstream stable kernel rules. More details are available at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable We welcome any feedback and contribution to this effort. The first review cycle patch set (for "v4.2.8-ckt1") will be posted in a week or two. -Kamal Mostafa Ubuntu Kernel Team, Canonical Ltd.
