Hi,

when looking at http://www.kernel.org/, kernel 3.4.7 is shown as the latest stable kernel, and 3.6-rc1 as the latest mainline kernel. The 3.5 version is not mentioned. Why is the latest stable kernel something older than 3.5?

Regards,
Tino

Someone already asked this. Let's cc one more party (although webmaster@.. could be going to the same people :-)).

Hi, Tino:

That's due to the way our script currently figures out what needs to go to the front page. If I understand the code correctly, since there are no 3.5.x releases, the script goes straight to 3.6-rc and 3.5 doesn't get mentioned. Let's call that a "feature" until we have a fix. :)

You can, of course, still get 3.5 from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/

Best,
