Hi,

What for? We are not the developers of these patches so we definitely can't review them as much as you'd like. Why backport a patch for 3.11 to 3.10? If you need to use 3.10 then use {ck,pf}-sources-3.10.X which have the proper 3.10 -ck patches.
Comment 2 Joe Kappus 2013-10-30 03:43:50 UTC
Markos, 3.10 is a LTS release of the linux kernel.  Con does not backport his changes to BFS for LTS releases but this release of BFS was a bugfix.

Therefore bug is valid. If it is gentoo policy to not support these old releases then please clean the tree out.

ck-sources already contain an out-of-tree patches. I don't want to patch it even more. We add whatever Con releases. The LTS only makes sense for the upstream kernel. Since this patchset contains non-upstream patches, it's no longer a supported LTS release
