stable: update documentation to ask for kernel version

2012-01-24T18:50:22Z

It would save me an email round-trip asking which stable tree(s) that a patch should be applied to, so document that the tree number should be specified in the email request. Reported-by: Tomoya MORINAGA Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Update email address for stable patch submission

2011-10-18T20:58:59Z

The stable@kernel.org email address has been replaced with the stable@vger.kernel.org mailing list. Change the stable kernel rules to reference the new list instead of the semi-defunct email alias. CC: CC: Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Documentation: -stable rules: upstream commit ID requirement reworded

2010-04-22T22:24:56Z

It is a hard requirement to include the upstream commit ID in the changelog of a -stable submission, not just a courtesy to the stable team. This concerns only mail submission though, which is no longer the only way into stable. (Also, fix a double "the".)

Doc/stable rules: add new cherry-pick logic

2009-12-23T19:23:43Z

- it is possible to submit patches for the stable queue without sending them directly stable@kernel.org. If the tag (Cc: stable@kernel.org) is available in the sign-off area than hpa's script will filter them into the stable mailbox once it hits Linus' tree. - Patches which require others to be applied first can be also specified.

Fix "can not" in Documentation and Kconfig

2006-10-03T20:53:09Z

Randy brought it to my attention that in proper english "can not" should always be written "cannot". I donot see any reason to argue, even if I mightnot understand why this rule exists. This patch fixes "can not" in several Documentation files as well as three Kconfigs. Signed-off-by: Matt LaPlante Acked-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

[PATCH] Add the rules about the -stable kernel releases to the Documentation directory

2005-07-29T20:12:49Z

This was the last agreed upon set of rules, it's probably time we actually add them to the kernel tree to make them "official". Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
