backports-4.19-rc5 was released. This is based on Linux 4.19-rc5.

https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/v4.19-rc5/backports-4.19-rc5-1.tar.xz

The source code can be found here:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/backports/backports.git/

This release should compile on most kernel versions, we still have some
problems on older kernel versions, probably some configurations will
also work on older kernel versions, but not everything will work.

Huge thanks for Johannes and Luca for their great work.

Hauke

In particular
 * mt76 drivers don't compile on many kernels, due to missing
   #include <linux/module.h> in some files - fix is going upstream
 * if skcipher is required and enabled (lib80211 wep/tkip), things fail
   to compile - this affects most kernel versions less than 4.3
   (if I find a way to test it, I'll remove skcipher from lib80211)
