Kernel and TIPC utilities question

Kernel and TIPC utilities question

[Balasundaram, Gunabalan]

Hello,

We are in the process of upgrading the Fedora 16 Kernel from 3.4.2-1 to 4.3.  We have some questions to clarify:

1. The kernel 4.3 is tagged as "stable". Does the Kernel 4.3 a long term support version ? 
2. Is the Kernel 4.4 a long term support version ?
3. From 3.4.2-1 kernel, we have used TIPC utilities v2.0.2.  
	a. Is this version compatible with new Kernel 4.3 or 4.4 ?
	b. Do we need to rebuild a tipc_config for Kernel 4.3 or 4.4? 
	c. To recompile, where I could find the user space tipc.h and tipc_config.h files?  

Thank you,
Guna B

Guna,

I guess no-one replied because this mailing list is related to the
portion of the linux kernel implementing the SCTP stack, and it has
nothing to do with TIPC...

A quick google shows they have a mailing list at
http://tipc.sourceforge.net/mailing_list.shtml you might try there for
better luck.

Cheers,
malc.

Re: FW: Kernel and TIPC utilities question

[malc]

Let me google that for you... (even though it still isn't a relevant
question for this list...)

https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html

Your upstream (Fedora) may have a different view of what
distro-kernels they provide back-ported fixes etc. for..
