We have recently released [1] the latest update to the kernel-lt package sets, for both EL5 and EL6. Those of you who regularly monitor the front page of the Linux Kernel Archives website [2] will have observed that the linux-3.0.X branch has now been transitioned to EOL status following the release of the linux-3.0.101 sources [3]. This action is in full accord with the information contained within the 'Longterm release kernels' table, as shown on the 'Active kernel releases' page [4]. As a preparation for this event, the ELRepo Project previously asked for comments [5] as to which Linux source branch should then be used for the basis of the kernel-lt package sets. The final decision [6] was that kernel-lt for EL5 will be built using the linux-3.2.X branch and kernel-lt for EL6 will be built using the linux-3.10.X branch. All users who make regular use the kernel-lt packages should be prepared for the transition that will thus occur with the next update to the kernel-lt package sets.
