This would be hard to organize and support. There are news sites like LWN which give outlines of important kernel changes, and there are mailinglists or community sites for architectures or driver subsystems if you are interested in special platforms or drivers, and there is the git repository metadata (via gitweb or directly from a locally cloned git repo). I for one am actually posting release notes to a users' mailinglist of the drivers I'm interested in. But I can do this only because these are drivers with very low rate of fixes or feature additions. It's also not only a question of who writes such release notes, but also of who the intended audience is. How fine-grained should the release notes be? Anyway --- if in doubt, your distributor's current kernel is the best one. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== ---= =-=== http://arcgraph.de/sr/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
