compat-drivers as a whole aims to always be compiled and used with the
|
|
oldest stable kernel supported by kernel.org. This will be the oldest
|
|
stable kernel on the 2.6. series listed on the kernel.org front page.
|
|
Sometimes we'll go even beyond that.
|
|
|
|
Backporting compat-drivers involves backporting some subsystems but
|
|
at times we may want to support compiling only certain drivers on older
|
|
kernels since its easier to backport some subsystems. Such is the case
|
|
with PCI drivers. This directly exists to allow developers enable
|
|
compilation of compat-drivers on older drivers using ./scripts/driver-select
|
|
Upon selection of a driver a patch from this directly will be applied to
|
|
allow further compilation of one driver onto even older kernels.
