Owner: Justin Forbes Time Frame: 14th Dec - 20th Dec Features: Kernel 6.18 rebase Target Release: F43 and F42
As discussed at Flock, we will start hosting test days for each major kernel rebase (approximately every 8-10 weeks). It was discussed that we should extend this to a test week, to allow time for more participants. They have been incredibly helpful so far. As the 6.18 kernel is released, I would like to get a test week in before we push the rebase to stable releases. I will have ISOs for USB images so that users can test on bare metal or in VMs, and the kernel will be available in the stabilization repo for users who wish to install it on existing systems.
Sorry for the late filing on this one, I am actually travelling and on PTO, but we can't really delay the test week as that puts it into the Holidays.
