[yocto] linux 3.8
Given that Greg KH has publicly stated linux-3.8 is not a long term stable kernel, is it worth the effort to support it in Yocto? http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/3.8-is_not_longterm_stable.html ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto

We don't need LTSI to make a kernel worth supporting. We pick our kernels based on the timing of the Yocto release schedule (the time and criteria are documented on the yoctoproject wiki IIRC). But note, Greg is talking specifically about LTSI, we don't expect more than one LTSI per year, and we are already locked into the LTSI 3.4. We've known Greg's strategy and plans for a while, so this isn't a surprise. He'll do his normal -stable releases for 3.8 and drop them once 3.9 arrives, which is also expected.

However, as far as I understand it the 3.4 snapshot in git.yoctoproject.org is from kernel.org and not from http://git.linuxfoundation.org/ltsi-kernel.git. GregKH has been merging patches into the LTSI kernel, such as AF_BUS, that have not been accepted by upstream. I do not think that those patches are being merged into the YP kernel tree. But please correct me if I am wrong. Cheers, Rudi ___ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto

But please correct me if I am wrong. The 3.4 LTSI patches are all present on the 3.4 kernel tree, directly from Greg's patch queue. http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/linux-yocto-3.4/log/?h=ltsi And that branch is merged into each and every other branch in the linux-yocto tree. We've been involved with Greg and LTSI for quite a while now, and are tracking it via our tree as we discussed with the interested parties.
