3.2.4 is in tree. @maintainers: bump to 3.1.14 if you like, and please clean up.
Comment 3 Kristian Fiskerstrand (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-06-17 21:37:17 UTC
ping for cleanup
Comment 4 Chris Reffett (RETIRED) gentoo-dev Security 2014-08-25 22:54:45 UTC
Maintainer timeout, cleanup done, closing noglsa. @maintainers: Dropped the 3.1 branch since you all didn't bump it and 3.2 is getting the updates anyway.
