I said this last week on Google+ when I was at a conference, and
needed to get it out there quickly, but as I keep getting emails and
other queries about this, I might as make it "official" here. For no
other reason that it provides a single place for me to point people at.
Anyway, I would like to announce that the 3.8 Linux kernel series is
NOT going to be a longterm stable kernel release.
With my recent job change, I'm starting to run into a bunch of
people asking "What exactly are you going to be doing now?"
I've tried responding by describing the kernel related stuff I've been
doing for the past years, and it turns out that a lot of people didn't
even realize I was doing that.
So, here's a short list of some of the things that I'm going to be doing
at my new job, and most importa
As I posted to the linux-kernel mailing list, the 3.4
kernel tree will be the next -longterm kernel that I will be maintaining
for at least 2 years.
Currently I'm maintaining the following stable kernel trees for the
following amount of time:
3.0 - for at least one more year
3.4 - for at least two years
3.5 - until 3.6.1 is out
Hope this helps clear up any rumors floating around.
The 2.6.32.10 and 2.6.33.1 stable kernel updates are out. They are both massive, with 145 and 123 patches, respectively.

Stable kernel 2.6.32.8 has been released. It is fairly large set of patches, with changes all over the tree, along with at least one security fix. Users of 2.6.32 are, as usual, very strongly encouraged to upgrade.
Ben Hutchings has announced the release of the 3.2.24 stable kernel (patches). As usual, it contains important fixes throughout the kernel tree.

An EXT4 Data Corruption Bug has made its way into several stable kernels and has caused some mild panic, until it got resolved.
The bug was first introduced into Linux kernel 3.6.3, and that it was backported into 3.4x and 3.5.x branches. Not to worry, a patch is already being pushed into the kernel tree for the next stable releas... (read more)
