Till: <<a href="mailto:debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org">debian-devel-announce@lists.debian.org</a>><br>Kopia: "Debian kernel maintainers" <<a href="mailto:debian-kernel@lists.debian.org">debian-kernel@lists.debian.org</a>><br>
<br type="attribution">The Debian Linux kernel team has discussed and chosen the kernel version<br>
to use as a basis for Debian 8 'jessie'.<br>
<br>
This will be Linux 3.16, due to be released in early August. Release<br>
candidates for Linux 3.16 are already packaged and available in the<br>
experimental suite.<br>
<br>
If you maintain a package that is closely bound to the kernel version -<br>
a kernel module or a userland application that depends on an unstable<br>
API - please ensure that it is compatible with Linux 3.16 prior to the<br>
freeze date (5th November, 2014). Incompatible packages are very likely<br>
to be removed from testing and not included in jessie.<br>
<br>
Q: My kernel module package doesn't build on 3.16 and upstream is not<br>
interested in supporting this version. What can I do?<br>
A: We might be able to help you with forward-porting, but also try<br>
<<a href="http://kernelnewbies.org/" target="_blank">http://kernelnewbies.org/</a>> or the mailing list(s) for the relevant<br>
kernel subsystem(s).<br>
<br>
Q: There's an important new kernel feature that ought to go into jessie,<br>
but it won't be in 3.16. Can you still add it?<br>
A: Maybe - sometimes this is easy and sometimes it's too disruptive to<br>
the rest of the kernel. Please contact us on the debian-kernel mailing<br>
list or by opening a wishlist bug.<br>
<br>
Q: Will Linux 3.16 get long term support from upstream?<br>
A: The Linux 3.16-stable branch will *not* be maintained as a longterm<br>
branch at <a href="http://kernel.org" target="_blank">kernel.org</a>. However, the Ubuntu kernel team will continue to<br>
maintain that branch, following the same rules for acceptance and<br>
review, until around April 2016. I can continue maintenance from then<br>
until the end of regular support for 'jessie'.<br>
