[07:56] <Wellark> hi! I was pondering what's the process with upstream stable releases.
[07:58] <Wellark> linux 2.6.31.7 contains a patch that I would like to see in karmic kernel. Should I file a bug to get it included in some future karmic kernel upgrade?
[07:59] <Wellark> or is 2.6.31.7 going to be included in upgrades by default?
[08:21] <crimsun> Wellark: nothing is automatic per se, but it stands that the patch being in a stable 2.6.31.x certainly helps greatly
[08:21] <crimsun> Wellark: for accounting purposes it's best to file a bug
[08:29] <Wellark> crimsun: OK. thanks.

[09:02] <Wellark> I wanted to mark it to affect karmic kernel, but didn't find out how to do that..
