Hi everyone, I would like to know how the Linux Kernel are updated. I know that there is the long term kernels, the last stables and the mainline. First, what is the real difference between stable and longterm ? I see in the Linux Kernel website that the date of the long term (and the revision number) is changing so I was thinking that there are some updates on it, right ? For example, when an important bug has been fixed, is it fixed in the new release kernel only ? Or is it applied on old kernels ? Only the long term ? All ? So if I am using the long term 3.4.49 for example (and the current is 3.4.51), I can just update the 3.4.49 to get the important bugs fix that have been fixed in the new release (so 3.9.8 right now ?). And if you have some documentation about it, it would be nice ! Thank you in advance ! -- Mylène JOSSERAND
