Hello Team,

I hope this message finds you well. This is a gentle follow-up regarding the vulnerability report we submitted.

Please post appropriate meme reactions, I'm too jetlagged to make the effort.

kernel.org tooling update from @monsieuricon

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251209-roaring-hidden-alligator-068eea@lemur/

""These are the topics that were touched on at the [ ] maintainer summit […]

# What is the state of tooling?

## b4 development update

[…]

- Seeing lots of adoption and use across subsystem,

[…]

I spent a lot of time on trying to integrate AI into b4 workflows, but with little to show for it in the end due to lackluster results.

[…]

it was certainly ironic that one of the top challenges for us was to try to keep AI crawlers from overwhelming kernel.org infrastructure.

[…]

## Are we finally moving away from patches sent over email?

[…]

With lore and public-inbox, we *are* in the process of moving away from
relying on the increasingly unreliable SMTP layer.

[…]

## Work on "local lore"

## Other tools

It may be time to kill bugzilla:

@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

I slept through the earthquake last night, so I can't even claim that experience. (It was only about 3 points in Tokyo, but apparently it was still quite something if you were in a taller building).

Starting to write up a series of articles about the Linux kernel CVE work that has happened in the past 2 years, starting with some "back to basics" information about how Linux kernels are numbered as many people/companies really don't know how we do this, and it matters a lot in tracking bugfixes and how to determine "vulnerable" and "fixed" kernel releases:

Went to an Irish pub in the middle of Tokyo for drinks and the first thing I see is a Quebec flag on the ceiling.

@kees I'm in a tiny middle seat. I don't usually get middle seats, but this was one of the few exit row seats left, and on a 14-hour flight that matters more than elbow room. Anyway, all of this is to say that my entertainment screen is safely tucked into its place under my elbow and isn't coming out. So, my current entertainment options is watching what my Japanese neighbour to the left is watching, which is some Japanese soap. ;)

Russia has welcomed US President Donald Trump's new National Security Strategy, calling it "largely consistent" with Moscow's vision.

@horms all queries that people do for legit reasons are fine! It's xapian under the hood and it can handle a lot thrown at it.

@prisherfice no idea, I don't have a usenet-capable device out (and I don't have nearly enough elbow room to try taking out my laptop). :)
