Hello,
I wrote a simple python script that tells me that a new kernel version
appeared. The problem is that it is based exactly on this what appears
on the webpage so sometimes it resolves the server IP that the version
has changed, despite the fact that it is not true. Which server is the
master server?
Cheers,
Piotr Hosowicz

I guess that simply running
finger @kernel.org
will give you exactly the information you are looking for which much less
pain of connecting to www server, parsing html, etc.

Not sure if this is still accurate:

Moreover it is written as the above.

I have a script that reads finger_banner then adds mmotm & its base kernel tree,
& linux-next & its base kernel tree to the finger_banner. (It was written
before finger_banner included linux-next info.)
Output today is:
The latest linux-next version of the Linux kernel is: next-20100826
The latest snapshot 2.6 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.36-rc2-git4
The latest mainline 2.6 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.36-rc2
The latest stable 2.6.35 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.35.3
The latest stable 2.6.34 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.34.5
The latest stable 2.6.33 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.33.7
The latest stable 2.6.32 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.32.20
The latest stable 2.6.31 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.31.14
The latest stable 2.6.27 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.27.52
mmotm-2010-0811-1610 ... applies to: 2.6.35
next-20100826 ... applies to: v2.6.36-rc2
