Answering a recent question, and before that, trying to see if a patch which is fundamental for my machine had been included in a kernel release, I have found the following problem:
How can I match the kernel version I have for my kernel, which is
[:~] % uname -a
Linux samsung-romano 3.13.0-29-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 4 21:00:20 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
with the exact kernel source, which I suppose should be stored in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=summary?
In that page there are quite a lot of tags, for example:
But none of them correspond to 3.13.0-29
which is my running kernel right now.
The mapping should be in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable, where it is said that the 3.13 Ubuntu kernel is based on 3.13.11 --- I think. But from there to finding the tree I have installed is not straightforward.
Notice: I know I can install the kernel source corresponding with my installed kernel. But I do not want to install them; I would like ti have a pointer to the git tree to be able to browse it online (and check for commits, patches, etc.).
The best options seems to go to linux3.13-y.review
or linux3.13-y.queue
, but I am unable to find where this tree are marked for the release - if I understand well the policy, in -review
the patches are accumulated for testing, and in -queue
accumulated for the next minor release/update --- but I am unable to find the exact release tree. I mean, a tag equivalent to 3.13.0-29
was cut here.
