[Bug 668380] Re: Lucid update to 2.6.32.25 stable release

Fri Oct 29 16:39:17 UTC 2010

** Description changed:

  SRU Justification

  Impact:

  The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope
  to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a
  bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either directly
  from Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch. The
  2.6.32.25 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be
  included in the Ubuntu kernel as well.

  Test Case: TBD
