Hi,

Linus released final v6.3 so as is tradition we'll going to slow down
for two weeks and close net-next for new patches/features/refactorings.
We may pull a couple of straggler PRs and if all goes well submit
net-next to Linus some time on Wed. I'll send out the development stats
once the PR is out.

I was hoping that we'd migrate the netdev mailing list to a different
server during this merge window (good old vger stack to LF servers).
Which should hopefully cause no disruptions and improve our email
delivery time and sensitivity to various oddness. But it's not
confirmed. We'll keep you posted...

Hi,

v6.4 has been released and so the v6.5 merge window begins.
Please refrain from posting new features and code refactoring,
net-next is now closed.

Hi,

v6.5 has been released and so the v6.6 merge window begins.
We'll make a call on outstanding patches on Monday, please
refrain from posting non-fixes unless explicitly asked to.

Hi Kuba.

I sent rebased devlink/leftover.c split patchset today. Please consider
taking it in so we are over this :)

Thanks!

Hi!

Please be advised that net-next is now closed for the duration
of the 6.8 merge window. We'll process what's posted for net-next
tomorrow, but please don't post new -next material.

Hi!

Linus tagged v6.8 and, as is tradition, for the duration of the 6.9
merge window net-next is closed for new submissions, until 6.9-rc1 
is tagged (on March 24th).

Hi!

Linus has tagged v6.9 so following our usual process net-next will
be closed for the duration of the merge window (next 2 weeks, until
6.10-rc1 is tagged).

We'll go thru what's in patchwork already, but please hold off
posting any -next material, or post for review/feedback-only as RFC.

Hi!

Linus tagged v6.10 and, as is tradition, for the duration of the v6.11
merge window net-next is closed for new submissions, until v6.11-rc1 
is tagged (on July 28th).

We will still look thru patches already in patchwork at time of this
announcement.

Hi!

We're closing net-next early due to LPC, as previously announced:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240820113034.73448a88@kernel.org/

Technically it will get closed tomorrow, but as usual there's a "review"
lag, so any "-next material" posted after this email is unlikely to
make it into the PR for 6.12. But what's on the list now will still
be reviewed.

If Linus cuts -rc8 we'll have an awkward week with two trees in "fixes-
only state" (we'll keep net for 6.11 fixes until v6.11 final is tagged).
Please use "PATCH net-next" for fixes which are only needed in net-next.

As usual RFC postings are welcome during the shutdown and the subsequent
merge window.

Hi!

Linus tagged v6.12 and as usual net-next will be closed for new
submissions for the duration of the merge window, until v6.13-rc1 
is tagged (on Dec 2nd).

We will still look thru patches already in patchwork.

Hi!

As previously announced:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241211164022.6a075d3a@kernel.org/
we are closing net-next for the holidays. 

We will go over what's already posted over the weekend.

net-next will reopen on January 2nd.

Happy Holidays!

Hi!

Linus is expected to cut final v6.13 this weekend, so let's stop
queuing -next material already. We'll cancel the announcement
in case there's an -rc8. Otherwise net-next will reopen on Feb 3rd.

If you have a fix for net-next do use net-next in the subject.
And generate net patches against net.
net-next is "closed" but we will apply fixes until the PR is ready.

Hi!

Linus just cut final v6.14:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wg7TO09Si5tTPyhdrLLvyYtVmCf+GGN4kVJ0=Xk=5TE3g@mail.gmail.com/
a day late, coincidentally, kicking off what we expect to also 
be a fairly messy merge window for us. Multiple core maintainers
have taken time off in March, and we're sitting on a larger than
usual pile of unprocessed patches.

Our PR will likely not be ready for another couple of days, 
so net-next will be "closed" for real -next material, but open
for fixes to already merged patches. IOW please don't post new 
features / drivers any more, but continue to send fixes as 
"PATCH net-next" where appropriate.

Hi!

Linus released v6.15:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250526050536.release-6.15@kdist.linux.kernel.org/

and as per our usual process net-next is now closed for the merge window.

We'll go thru what's in patchwork already, but please hold off
posting any -next material, or post for review/feedback-only as RFC.

If you have a fix for net-next do use net-next in the subject.
And generate net patches against net.

Hi!

Linus is expected to cut final v6.16 this weekend, and various people
will be traveling soon, so I'd like to submit the net-next PR earlier
than usual. Tomorrow we'll go thru what's already posted, and hopefully
submit the PR on Saturday.

If you have a fix for net-next it's okay to still post it (with net-next
in the subject). net Fixes should continue to use "PATCH net".
