  • newer 4.19 and 5.10 at kernel.org

    Greetings,

    I cannot help but notice that the Linux kernels currently in oldstable
    and stable are lagging behind what kernel.org offers.

    Debian currently ships 4.19.194 in oldstable (usptream: 4.19.208)
    while stable ships with 5.10.46 (upstream 5.10.69).

    Is there any ETA on releasing those via security-updates?

    Thanks!
    Martin-Éric

    Hello,

    I am following https://salsa.debian.org/carnil/linux/-/commits/5.10-stable-updates
    to
    get a current 5.10.y kernel (5.10.69 at the moment). I also hope this
    could be made
    available more officially or via optional channels to allow broader testing/usage of
    newer upstream versions. (On the other hand I also value the bugfixes
    that are done
    to existing versions and keeping a braod number of people on the same and thus more tested versions.)

    best regards,

    Florian La Roche

    Not via security but they will come in at point release time for both
    buster and bullseye.

    Cf. https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/merge_requests/378
    and https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/merge_requests/372

    Salvatore

    So via stable-updates (non-urgent) rather than via stable-security
    (critical). Fair enough. Thanks for the info. :)
