I just realize when we get a stable release, we must merge trementous patches into kernel. I often watch -rc kernels, -git kernels, , -mm kernels and know their promulgators. But i don't know their relationships and sequences for shaping stable ones. Okay, now we want to develop 2.6.38 to 2.6.39. How many specific steps should we do? In fact, i recognize some. But i want to understand all the concrete procedures. Could anyone help me, thanks in advance. Thanks. Best Regards.
