[14:25] * enyc meows [14:26] I would like to understand, will upstream kernel fixes in stable 5.4 series automatically make into ubuntu Kernel 5.4.0-43 [and onwards] new kernel provided by ubuntu? [14:26] e.g. Kernel floppy maintainer confirms a certain race-condition/contended case I experience is fixed in 5.4.47 onwards upstream! [14:26] Oh !!! I see Channel topic! [14:27] Which presumably means ''yes''! [17:53] enyc, yes. we pick up and apply upstream stable fixes on a regular basis and put them out every 3 weeks [18:52] bjf: if it helps to ask explicitly, https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11570219/ [commit id in stable tree is 29ed45653bec] in stable branch since 5.4.47 could go in please [18:53] bjf: in any case, when is the next 3-weekly-update ? [19:07] Hrrm. I se ethat might also only be ubuntu kernel maintainers, nt necesasrially a new version in focal-updates of course. ... [19:07] enyc, kernel.ubuntu.com has the schedule [19:07] bjf: aah i was starting to look at such tihngs ;p [19:08] bjf: OH so there may be a release tomorrow! where are the intertim testing kernels aailable and all that? I have seen somebode point me at ages ago i forget! [19:09] * enyc spanks enyc and reads wiki! [19:11] enyc, you commit is on the master-next branch and will come out in approx. 3 weeks from tommorrow [19:11] bjf: i see! [19:11] bjf: already or because I asked? ;-) [19:12] enyc, was already queued [19:12] bjf: ok im not finding for myself, where any testing kernel images can be downloaded or found! [19:12] enyc, there isn't one for that kernel yet. they will be built this coming week after the existing batch are released [19:13] bjf: i know, but still would like to know for reference [19:13] i appreciate new image will neext testing and all of that as per next cycle [19:13] enyc, i use this ppa for my testing: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/proposed [19:13] enyc, when kernels go to -proposed they also go to that ppa [19:14] enyc, it's easier than enabling all of -proposed [19:14] enyc, that way you only get kernels and not other packages in -proposed [19:14] bjf: yes, with no pinning krefluffle [19:26] bjf: thankyou for very helpful answers!
