Chanho, the agreement between Intel and Samsung was that Tizen 3 Common would be based on LTSI 3.14. You are right his is LTSI and not LTS.
LTSI accept patches from the LTS (while still alive) and from the industry and has a longer maintenance period than a simple LTS. As 3.14 was promoted to LTSI very recently (during Linux Con Düsseldorf in Oct 14), today LTSI and LTS are still the same, but that will not continue. If you get your patch in LTSI 3.14, you will arrive in Common automatically :-) If not you have to get the agreement that at least two profiles are requesting the feature to get in Common. Last option, will be to keep the patch in the only profile that requires it :-( Regards Dominig Le 04/12/2014 14:40, Chanho Park a écrit : > Hi Dominiq, > > Longterm > There are usually several "longterm maintenance" kernel releases > provided for the purposes of backporting bugfixes for older kernel trees. > Only important bugfixes are applied to such kernels and they don't usually > see very frequent releases, especially for older trees.[1] > > You mean we only focus on LTSi kernel not LTS, right?
