Hello,

I was wondering if there are plans to include the long-term stable
versions in the /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6-stable.git
repository?

I'm not subscribed to lkml, please cc on response.

Thanks in advance,

-Bryan

It's been discussed numerous times in the past, the thing is, I don't
control the script that does this so I have no control over it, sorry.

Ok. The reason I ask is that it is painful to merge changes from
2.6.35.13 back to 2.6.35.9, then forward to >2.6.36, although I guess
I will have to live with it.

If you don't mind me asking; who controls the script that does this?

Thanks for the response!

Why would you have to do that?  Why can't you just create the tree
yourself by pulling from the different longterm branches?

I really don't know, sorry.
