Running 4.9.3 using the config wih debian patches from linux-source-4.9 (4.9.2-2) trimmed as much as understood and could safely do so, for my laptop..seems to be working great except for the random mouse and keyboard freezes when streaming videos..wonder if i should wait for an upgrade to the source before compiling for 4.9.4. Also, is 4.9 gong to be LTS or not, nobody seems to know for sure, Greg-Hartman's blog, if it's genuine said it was..
Edit: Oops, sorry to intrude, saw something about the kernel and jumped right in without thinking, have been a little on edge running the unstable version of Debian, my apologies. |

Running 4.9.4, with a hand-rolled .config file: no issues so far.

Release candidate 4 of the 4.10 kernel has been issued, https://www.kernel.org

I'm lazy and just want to wait for Pat's config before I upgrade my system. I missed some new features in the 3.18 kernel (mainly overlayfs) that caused me to rebuild it once Pat's config came out, so I don't want a repeat. He seems to have the eye to get all the pertinent options. |
v4.4.44 & v4.9.5 are out.

Thanks GazL.
commit b9d6631395a1e25b210ce112b1bc10f3c665ea20 in Linux 4.4.44 fixes CVE-2016-919 and commit 3490e72ad6d02cf396894d1139dc800e1d9fca83 fixes CVE-2017-2584 Building a local version here but maybe an official Slackware 14.2 update is in order ? -- kjh Code:
# grep CVE linux-4.4.44-ChangeLog |
I don't know what Pat will do. I'm surprised he's stayed with 4.4 in current this long, but I'll be moving to 4.10 when it comes out anyway, so it doesn't bother me either way.
Anyway, fwiw, 4.9.5 running ok here. |

I am still on 14.2 ... I imagine Pat will stay with 4.4.x there. I actually missed a CVE in the grep command ... there is a third CVE fixed by commit 816307c80d4ddad5414a05ff5861f063d29cda6f ... -- kjh |
Ahh, silly me, yes. I'm so used to following current that I sometimes forget that the stable release even exists. :doh:

Unofficial 4.4.44 and 4.9.5 now up at https://dusk.idlemoor.tk -- I don't intend to spam this thread every time, but as suggested by GazL (thanks!), there's also now a config directory, and the config is now included with the other gubbins in each kernel dir. For 4.9.5 the configs are completely unoffical, but derived from the 4.6 config in testing/.
