I think changing it manually makes sense, we at least know that "generic" patches still do apply. Builds won't automatically break for every target. I don't think Sylvain was talking about any auto-using the latest kernel from 3.8 (or other) release. I believe it's about using kernel version that is longterm support (2.6.34 or 3.0 or 3.2 or 3.4 - see kernel.org). We still may update from (for example) 3.2.41 to 3.2.42 manually, we just shouldn't use 3.3 as a kernel for AA release. 3.3 isn't longterm support, it's EOL, no more 3.3.X releases (even security!) are coming. -- Rafał _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
