[07:49] <seyeongkim> Hello. I'm trying to request backporting or SRU https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/5ef828c4152726f56751c78ea844f08d2b2a4fa3 to ubuntu-precise and trusty using under kernel 3.17, but there is no libxfs directory on ubuntu-precise.. do i need to cherrypick all commits about creating libxfs & moving files from upstream? or making small patch on existing directory structure is ok? or it's unacceptable?
[08:14] <smb> seyeongkim, for backports into older releases the change should be as small as possible. So if a upstream change can be made on the existing directory structure this would be preferred.
[08:16] <seyeongkim> thanks smb

[20:49] <puffi> Is there much risk in downgrading kernel versions in 12.04
[21:14] <infinity> puffi: Downgrading them to what?
[21:14] <infinity> puffi: The obvious risks are always reintroducing bugs, both security and stability.
[21:36] <puffi> infinity: Say going from the most recent stock patch on 3.2 to a previous one, I'm thinking more general issues than specific issue with a previous kernel
[22:22] <jamespd> I'd like to run a 3.18+ kernel on trusty.  Will there be a vivid backport kernel or some sort of 3.18+ HWE kernel available at some point?
[22:22] <jamespd> if so, how can I tell when that is likely to happen?
[22:25] <infinity> jamespd: apt-get install linux-lts-vivid
[22:25] <infinity> Err, linux-generic-lts-vivid
[22:30] <jamespd> infinity: wow... not sure how I missed that package...
[22:30] <jamespd> thanks.
[22:31] <infinity> jamespd: linux-tools-generic-lts-vivid if you also need the matching tools (perf, etc)
[22:31] <jamespd> cheers, infinity.
