'uname -r' says I was. Also 'git log' for my v3.8 branch currently on 3.8.9 via the 'master' method does include at least the top few commits listed on: <https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/log/?id=refs/tags/v3.8.9> Of course only having gotten to 3.8.9 a pull against linux-3.8.y does see changes. Perhaps someone else, or a script on git.kernel.org was merging into master before and now isn't ? Anyway, if it's unsupported to pull from linux-stable.git master I'll change my scripts. -- - Athanasius = Athanasius(at)miggy.org / http://www.miggy.org/ Finger athan(at)fysh.org for PGP key "And it's me who is my enemy.
