Public bug reported: Hey lovely Ubuntu maintainers!
I've been compiling my own mainline kernels for a while now due to running with a few additional hardware specific patches for my system. I've been using the mainline kernel instructions from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ . However starting with Kernel v4.10, the Ubuntu git repo doesn't seem to contain the needed branches for this to work any more. For example, trying to get v4.10.9 fails: $ git clone --branch v4.10.9 git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel-test/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/mainline-crack Cloning into 'mainline-crack'... fatal: Remote branch v4.10.9 not found in upstream origin but cloning anything from the v4.9.x series works fine: $ git clone --branch v4.9.10 git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel-test/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/mainline-crack Cloning into 'mainline-crack'... remote: Counting objects: ... The particular instructions for building v4.10.9 are at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.10.9/ , and don't seem to be any different from any earlier releases, so I'm guessing that branches are not hitting the ubuntu mainline-crack repository at all. This may be the entirely wrong place to report this bug, in which case I would *love* your advice on where I should be fielding this.
