PSA: in case you want to quickly become aware of new releases or do something on release, there are several options:

* subscribe to linux-kernel-announce via https://subspace.kernel.org/vger.kernel.org.html – archives can be found at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel-announce/

* Write a script that relies on https://www.kernel.org/finger_banner, https://www.kernel.org/feeds/kdist.xml, or https://www.kernel.org/releases.json

* Write a script that watches out for new tags in the appropriate git branches (e.g. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/, https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/, https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/, …)

[update]* And in case you want to know when the next mainline kernel is expected, follow https://www.kernel.org/releases-calendar.ics [/update]

Wondering if there are any options I forgot. Did I, @monsieuricon ?

Side note: wasn't there some finger_bannner like thing that you could easily check to see if some git tree was updated? Can't find that anymore.

@kernellogger You could mention https://www.kernel.org/releases-calendar.ics

For the second part, I'm not sure which one you mean. There's a manifest of all trees that we use for replication, maybe that? It's for grokmirror specifically: https://git.kernel.org/manifest.js.gz

@monsieuricon thx, yeah, adding that calendar is a good idea.

And yes, it was that manifest I meant, just could not remember where to find it – and likely it not worth it if you just want to mirror mainline.

Thx for your reply and have a good time in Japan!
