Get notifications for your patches
We are trialing out a new feature that can send you a notification when the patches you send to the LKML are applied to linux-next or to the mainline git trees. If you are interested in trying it out, here are the details:

read moreRC tarballs and patches starting with 4.12-rc1

Reasons for this are multiple, but largely this is because people who are most interested in pre-release tags -- kernel developers -- do not rely on patches and tarballs to ...

- 4.11.1
- 4.10.16
- 4.9.28
- 4.4.68
These changes would have resulted in GPG returning "Bad Signature ...

We are extremely happy to announce that Packet has graciously donated the new hardware systems providing read-only public access to the kernel.org git repositories and the public website (git.kernel.org and www.kernel.org, respectively). We have avoided using cloud providers in the past due to security implications ...
