And also, we do not always send patches. We only send patches when it needs a backport, otherwise we will just mail Greg with the SHA that needs to be added to the tree.
Thanks, that helps me understand the workflow better.
Also you could watch the linux-stable-rc git tree for updates, that will be updated at -rc announcement time, and at other "time to take a break" moments in my development cycle.
Or alternatively, you can also monitor the stable-queue repo. I usually check the stable-queue repo, apply the patches to my personal tree before doing or testing anything.
I wasn't aware that one existed! Am I correct to assume this is a holding place for patches which are waiting for inclusion into linux-stable-rc?
This is a place where Greg will keep the patches which he accepts for the stable tree. The stable-rc will finally have everything from this folder. And the folder will be emptied when the stable tree is released. And also, everything will be in patch format.
