| ysionneau | Hi, I have question about CIP branch names | 10:40 |
|---|---|---|
| ysionneau | I get that linux-4.19.y-cip is the normal (non RT) cip release branch | 10:40 |
| ysionneau | but what is linux-4.19.y-st ? and linux-4.19.y-st-rc ? (latter is release candidate , I guess) | 10:41 |
| patersonc | Hi! The -st branches are CIP's version of Linux stable for kernel versions that are no longer maintained by the linux-stable project. These branches don't contain new features (hardware support) added by CIP. These are only present in the -cip branches. | 10:42 |
| patersonc | so, mainline 4.19 > linux-stable 4.19.y > (goes EOL) > linux-4.19.y-st-rc > linux-4.19.y-st > linux-4.19.y-cip | 10:44 |
| patersonc | When linux-stable is still maintaining a kernel, it becomes more like: so, mainline 6.12 > linux-stable 6.12.y > linux-6.12.y-cip | 10:45 |
| ysionneau | so, for 4.19, the equivalent of what gkh did for the stable when it was still maintained by him, is now done by cip people in linux-4.19.y-st-rc/linux-4.19.y-st | 10:46 |
| ysionneau | and linux-4.19.y-cip is for new features | 10:46 |
| ysionneau | but it also gets the output from linux-4.19.y-st | 10:46 |
| ysionneau | people do really still add new features in linux-4.19.y-cip ? | 10:46 |
| patersonc | linux-4.19.y-st isn't quite the same as gkh's version. CIP only maintains a subset of the kernel as determined by the project members. For example only some architectures are maintained | 10:49 |
| ysionneau | ok so the scope is reduced but it's the general idea of cherry-picking mainline "FIXES" | 10:50 |
| patersonc | The new features are only hardware support for new devices, I'm not sure any new "features" have ever been backported. | 10:50 |
| ysionneau | ok | 10:50 |
| patersonc | Everything that goes into a normal linux-stable LTS release gets added to the CIP kernels. Once LTS goes end of life the CIP maintainers look at the nearest LTS still maintained as a guide (plus other sources) of what to backport. | 10:51 |
| patersonc | The CIP kernel maintainers can probably give a more complete summary then me :P | 10:52 |
| ysionneau | oh so it's not direct backport from mainline but backport from LTS | 10:52 |
| ysionneau | ok interesting :) | 10:52 |
| ysionneau | thanks a lot! | 10:52 |
| patersonc | Happy to help | 10:53 |
| ysionneau | patersonc: oh, I see you work for Renesas, I almost got recruited beginning of 2025 to work in the Linux team in UK :) | 10:54 |
| ysionneau | but timing was bad and I ended up somewhere else | 10:55 |
| patersonc | :D | 10:55 |
| ysionneau | I'm guessing I would have been in the same team | 10:55 |
| ysionneau | I think the manager was David or something | 10:55 |
| patersonc | Yep | 10:55 |
| ysionneau | fun! | 10:56 |
| patersonc | Every day :P | 10:57 |
