And that's called stable tree: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.24.y.git;a=summary http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.25.y.git;a=summary http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.26.y.git;a=summary > I think we as comunity should support each other, as the most people here do. > The problem was with the neglecting statement that something is old afer > beeing few months old, so I was thinking may be Felipe and Greg are buying a > new house because they don't like the sink in their present one ;-) This analogy was really bad and you know that, I suppose. Did you see greg's talk about the kernel development process ? Really, do it. -- balbi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
