Happy new 2023,
I normally watch [1] for the next LTS linux-kernel which is for me an official site and for an official announcement.
On the debian-kernel mailing list you read Linux 6.1 will be the official one for Debian-12 aka bookworm.
I saw a phoronix article about EOL of Linux-4.9 [3] which points to [2].
[2] says:
After being prompted on the kernel mailing list, Linux stable maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman commented:
I usually pick the "last kernel of the year", and based on the normal release cycle, yes, 6.1 will be that kernel. But I can't promise anything until it is released, for obvious reasons.
This is not a clear statement for me and was maybe at a point where 6.1 was not released.
If you published a clear statement please point me to it. And if so, please update [1] accordingly. ( It dropped 4.9 from LTS list recently from [1] - guess Konstantin or someone from helpdesk did - so [1] is actively maintained. )
Please, a clear statement.
Why exactly do you need a "clear statement"? What will that change (or not change) if it is made?
Please see this previous thread for what I need from others before I can make such a thing: https://lore.kernel.org/r/Y53BputYK+3djDME@kroah.com
Can you help answer those questions for your use case please? That will help us make our decision.
thanks,
