Hi,
Sorry if this is covered somewhere, I haven't been able to find much yet in my searches.
I'm working on a project using the LTS 3.14 kernel, but I'll need to be supporting it long after official support ends on kernel.org for the branch.
Eeek, why? What is keeping you from moving to a newer kernel version? Why is sticking with 3.14 a good idea for anyone?
Are there any pointers or suggestions on how to monitor for security and bug fixes that I'll need to pull in and merge myself?
Look at the patches that are marked "cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" in the changelog area when they hit Linus's tree. Or look at the patches that I apply to the latest stable tree. Either way, be prepared to wade through 100+ patches a week. I'd recommend just updating to 4.1-stable, it will be easier and cheaper for you in the long run. good luck! greg k-h
