Description

Kernel built of longterm 6.6 branch

Please consider moving to kernel-longterm-6.12.

This repository is created in the hope it will be useful. But is provided without any warranty.

This kernel built of the long term (LT) support 6.6 branch is derived from the fedora spec file adapted to build across RHEL/CentOS Stream and current Fedora releases. This kernel should be useful for those using external kernel modules, but don't want to re-base their kernel too often and break their external modules compatibility. It should also be useful for "Enterprise Linux" users where their modified kernel might produce incompatibilities with external modules. Or even those of us who want to run closer to upstream kernel code. Last, but not least, it also allows to verify kernel regressions and helps bisect and identify them into LT branches, so they can be reported upstream.
