Comment(by fo):
I had just downloaded the patch for 3.6.10, when I saw 3.7. Before
upgrading 7 machines to any, I decided to ask about some doubts, because
do not yet fully understand.
In [https://www.kernel.org/], it is marked:
Latest Stable Kernel: 3.6.10
mainline: 3.7 2012-12-11[[BR]]
stable: 3.6.10 2012-12-10
Found "releases" for both:
3.6.10: [http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg25558.html]
by Greg[[BR]]
(also at [http://www.kernelhub.org/?msg=177289&p=2])[[BR]]
3.7:[http://www.kernelhub.org/?msg=177486&p=2] by Linus
Thus, Linus releases the mainline (first release *is* already considered
stable?) and only after Greg releases the following stable ones?
A side note:
In "Upgrade Warning !!!"
[http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1212.0/03194.html]:
