With the 5.11 kernel series, I will be moving Fedora stable releases
to use the ark process. The branch fedora-5.11 has been pushed. The
fedora-5.11 tree is a rebase of os-build onto the linux-5.11.y stable
tree. RHEL specific patches around KABI and support are dropped to
remain closer to upstream, similar to what Fedora has been using in
stable releases for a while now. The initial tree was a rebase, but
stable linux-5.11.y updates will be merged. While this is a proper
working tree, none of the scripts to create a release are working
quite as they should be. I will be getting those fixed up this week,
but living in Texas, I only get power in very small bursts which could
drop at any time this week. I wanted to get the tree out though, so
people can do merge requests for patches or config changes that may be
needed.
Given the Pacific northwest is also going through power issues, Linus
hasn't even started merging for 5.12 yet, so perhaps will will have
some time before 5.11.1 comes out.
With this process, all changes should be made into the fedora-5.11
tree at
https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/tree/fedora-5.11,
and that will be used to build dist-git. As Fedora 34 is tracking
5.11 until release, I will not be pushing updates to stabilization,
but will use F34 to build test kernels against F33 for test week.
Thanks,
Justin
