Newer stable-tools

[Krzysztof Kozlowski]

Hi Greg, Sasha and everyone,

I am looking at stable-tools from Sasha [1] in hope in re-using it. The
problem I want to solve is to find easier commits in the distro tree,
which were fixed or reverted upstream. Something like steal-commits from
the stable-tools [1].

However the tools themself were not updated since some time and have
several issues, so the questions are:
1. Do you have somewhere updated version which you would like to share?
2. Do you have other stable-toolset which you could share?

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sashal/stable-tools.git/

Best regards,
Krzysztof

You're probably looking for stable-has-fixes :)

So I've cleaned up and pushed the few patches I had locally to that
repo. It's not that it's abandoned, but rather it was working just fine
for me for the past few years so there wasn't anything too big done on
that front.

FWIW, Greg has his own set of scripts: https://github.com/gregkh/gregkh-linux/tree/master/scripts

Let me know if something doesn't seem to work out, I'd be happy to help
out here.
