This page has references to various kernel resources (web sites and mailing lists) for developers. Most of this information was gathered over a year ago, and may not be accurate.
/\ Note: You should always look at the kernel MAINTAINERS file for up-to-date information
Contents |
Vanilla Linux kernel
Mailing List (lkml)
- The Big List of Linux Kernel mailing lists, and where to find their archives
- LKML - The Linux Kernel Mailing List (where the big boys hang out)
- linux-embedded - Embedded Linux Kernel List
- How to subscribe to these lists
LKML summaries

Repository access
- Kernel Git repositories
- Vanilla Linux Git Tree - This is "upstream". Get your code into here, please.
- But this one has all the going back to 0.0.1, and updates itself from Linus's tree when you do a "git pull". (This is really cool. You want this.)
