Date Mon, 9 Apr 2012 15:30:50 +0200 From Willy Tarreau <> Subject No more Linux 2.4 releases Hi all,



15 months ago I announced that if no more critical fix was to be merged

by one year, 2.4 would be EOLed after a year (around december 2011). The

break-in of last year made things a bit difficult for some users but

nothing really important for 2.4 users was merged since, so the EOL had

no reason to be delayed.



However since the break-in, I was surprized to see that some users have

asked where to find the 2.4 git tree to pick some fixes from it. After

discussing with several of them, it appears that they're not really

interested in releases, rather just in having a place where fixes are

centralized and that the git tree is perfect for this. So I revived the

git tree in my account and will probably push a patch there once in a

while if people ask for this, but with no guarantees.



Anyway I don't intend to waste any more space on kernel.org with tar.gz

files nor patches that too few people use.



The repository is now available here :



http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/wtarreau/linux-2.4.git



If anyone has any question, feel free to ask.



Willy
