Kernel release status

[Posted June 12, 2013 by jake]

The current development kernel is 3.10-rc5, released on June 8. In the announcement Linus Torvalds made it clear he was not completely pleased with the patches he was getting this late in the cycle: "Guys, guys, guys. I'm going to have to start cursing again unless you stop sending me non-critical stuff. So the next pull request I get that has "cleanups" or just pointless churn, I'm going to call you guys out on, and try to come up with new ways to insult you, your mother, and your deceased pet hamster."

Stable updates: Five stable kernels were released on June 7: 3.9.5, 3.4.48, and 3.0.81 by Greg Kroah-Hartman; from Canonical's extended stable trees Kamal Mostafa released 3.8.13.2 and Luis Henriques released 3.5.7.14.

The 3.9.6, 3.4.49, and 3.0.82 stable kernels are currently under review. They can be expected June 13 or soon after.

While I have no intention of harming the memory of my pet hamster, Linus' complaint seems an awful lot like a challenge...
