Now that 2.6.19 is out, most likely not. -stable releases are made for the latest stable 2.6.x kernel, once 2.6.x+1 is out that's the one -stable patches are made for (2.6.16 is an exception)..
Earlier I was going through the stable paches which apply for these kernel version: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_19 http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_18 http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_16 I have to dig deep into the patch & kernel version to understand what are the features/implementations or fixes (patch). Problem here is 2 ways:- 1) Identifying which is a better kernel (features) for Desktop/Embedded/Server (I know, info mentioned in Changelog. But still...) 2) Easily knowing which stable patch applies for which arch or sub system (better way) Proposal: Can maintainers implement this for better understanding of the Linux community (picking the best kernel or patch for the requirement) by adding a column on www.kernel.org home page? Examples: The latest stable version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.19.2 *networking subsystem* 2007-01-10 19:11 UTC F V VI C Changelog The latest prepatch for the stable Linux kernel tree is: 2.6.20-rc5 *x86 32/64* 2007-01-12 19:29 UTC B V VI C Changelog
