I'm announcing the release of the 3.18.140 kernel.
All users of the 3.18 kernel series must upgrade.
Note, this is the LAST 3.18.y release that I will be doing on kernel.org. I know it has been marked as End-of-Life for quite some time, but I have kept it alive due to a few million phones out there in the wild that depend on it, and can not move to a new kernel base due to them being stuck with a SoC vendor that does not work upstream.
But, this does not mean the tree is dead, oh no, if only it were that easy...
I, and a few other people, will be keeping it "alive" over in AOSP here: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common/+/refs/heads/android-3.18 and you can submit patches to it using gerrit {shudder} in aosp. Here's a link to the tree in gerrit, if that helps people find the location: https://android-review.googlesource.com/q/project:kernel%252Fcommon+branch:a...
There will not be any new "releases", but any user of that kernel should sync and update their trees every month or so, just to be safe.
As for how long that will be kept alive, I'm not quite sure, email me off-list if you depend on this and we can talk details.
Anyway, thanks all for putting up with 3.18.y for so long, but there's no need to email stable@vger for any issues with it any more.
The updated 3.18.y git tree can be found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-3.18.y and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git%3Ba=summa...
thanks,
greg k-h
