Ave people.
I know http://www.xx.kernel.org has nice bk snapshots in the form
of patch-2.5.x-bkx.gz However,they are only against the latest linus
release. The problem is I have a 100% repeatable OOPS in 2.5.62 while
2.5.61 worked. Before I send in a bug report I want to nail it down to
which bk snapshot starts failing to make it a little easier for the
bughunters to find the bug. Is there any website/ftp whatever which
collects older bk snapshots?
And if the maintainer of http://www.kernel.org reads this. May I suggest to keep
the bk snaphots of let's say the last 4/5 linus releases. Then people like
me who test the kernel a couple of days after release can start a bug hunt
and test bk snaphots from the past.

I just run a script to snarf them.
I've uploaded the 2.5.61->2.5.62 snapshots to
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/2.5/2.5.61/snapshots/
each one of these is a diff against 2.5.61. If you can narrow it down to the
offending one, that would be a big start.

Don't ask me -- I don't deal with that (in fact, I *couldn't*, because
of the asinine BK license.)
