I've just released Linux 2.6.27.60. Note that a build failure was reported for i386 just after the release and before this announcement. I'm preparing 2.6.27.61 with the faulty patch reverted. Other users are unaffected.
The patch and changelog will appear soon at the following locations: ftp://ftp.all.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/longterm/2.6.27/ ftp://ftp.all.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/longterm/2.6.27/patch-2.6.27.60.bz2 ftp://ftp.all.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/longterm/2.6.27/patch-2.6.27.60.xz ftp://ftp.all.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/longterm/2.6.27/patch-2.6.27.60.gz ftp://ftp.all.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/longterm/2.6.27/ChangeLog-2.6.27.60 The updated 2.6.27.y git tree can be found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-2.6.27.y http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-2.6.27.y The tree can be browsed on the gitweb interface: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-2.6.27.y Testing status (build/boot, OK/FAIL, otherwise not tested) : ARCH | CONFIGURATION --------+----------------------------------- | allmodconfig other-config x86_64 | build:OK - i386 | build:FAIL - Thanks to all reviewers, to Greg for the final packaging, and to Stefan Cososchi for reporting the build failure.
