I recommend you to watch this presentation of GregKH. He explains very good, how the development is working. https://kernel-recipes.org/en/2014/the-linux-kernel-how-fast-it-is-developed-and-how-we-stay-sane-doing-it/ -- Best regards, Andrey Skvortsov Secure eMail with gnupg: See http://www.gnupg.org/ PGP Key ID: 0x57A3AEAD signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
Work with correct branch for kernel changes
Hi, I am new to linux kernel and trying to understand the process of different git branch to work. So, if I am not wrong then there are different branch like stable, next, staging etc. Previously I work with staging branch so if I am making any changes for drivers/staging I have to work with staging branch like follow. git clone git checkout -t -b staging-testing origin/staging-testing git chekcout -b MY_LOCAL_BRANCH not do work and subimt So, how it work for other source structure, like now I want to make some for y2038 -> drivers/scsi which branch should I set up and work with, next/stable/or is there any specific y2038 branch. Any wiki link or documentation that explain this full process which branch to work with when making changes to specific directory will be useful. Thanks, Shirish ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies

If you want to be safe, since not all subsystems are merged into linux-next and some have multiple branches for next version fixes, new features, etc, check the MAINTAINERS file [1]. There you will see information you need. For example for ACPI (drivers/acpi) it is git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm I hope that clarifies your question.
