Hi Greg,
I am trying to get familiar with stable release process, because we would like to start testing stable release candidates. But I cannot get all the nuances how to get automatically information regarding rc code ready to be tested.
You might want to start a new thread and not bury it down in a response to a specific commit in order to make sure that people see it.
What specifically have you tried that did not work for detecting the -rc releases?
Also I wonder how we could automatically detect situations when stable release is expected to became diverged from the rc, e.g. like [PATCH 5.10 033/306] cpufreq: schedutil: Use kobject release() method to free sugov_tunables was dropped from 5.10.67 without announcing the 5.10.67-rc2?
Look at the stable queue tree, that has all of the information in it, right?
thanks,
