Kernel prepatch 3.11-rc5 Linus says: " Sadly, the numerology
doesn't quite work out, and while releasing the final 3.11 today would be a
lovely coincidence (Windows 3.11 was released twenty years ago today), it
is not to be. Instead, we have 3.11-rc5." Along with the usual fixes, this prepatch contains the linkat() permissions changediscussed in the August 8 Kernel Page. | | 1:23p |
