Description Thibaud CANALE 2014-03-20 12:44:05 UTC

Hello,

Today, I noticed that the branch 3.12 of sys-kernel/hardened-sources is not anymore available, when it's currently a LTS according to kernel.org's website [1].
I choose this branch because it is currently the last LTS branch, and I just need new security patch, no new firmware support. Even the 3.2 branch is still up.

So, this ticket is about an ebuild request, plase, may you restore (and even update) the 3.12 branch? Or maybe help me to find where I should read more about this decision (I tryed to search on mailing list, nothing relevant I found).

Thanks a lot.
