git checkout extraversion

git checkout extraversion

[Nils Radtke]

  Hi,

  Is it possible -- and if so: how? -- to checkout specific kernel extraversion?

  Example:

  git checkout -b my2.6.39.3 2.6.39.3

  This does not work as there's no such tag "2.6.39.3" (only "2.6.39").

  I temporarily did it by manually patching 2.6.39 to .3.

  ketchup didn't help (until I noticed -- browsing manually -- http is a
  redirect to https for kernel.org).

  Thanks and cheers

You need to have the stable tree

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git

Linus tree does not contain the stable tags.

  Hi,

  Thanks for the quick reply.

  That's an easy solution. Pitty, it was so hard to find.

  Cheers
