Ohh, so there is policy of *not* doing *fixes* updates of the kernel? So we don't update for example from 3.4.30 to 3.4.38 after branching? If so, I had no idea about that, but it sounds pretty wrong. Minor (fixes) updates usually contain regression and security fixes. -- Rafał _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
