Hello,
Recently I see http://www.kernel.org/ now shows 3.1 as the latest mainline kernel version (it was 3.1-rcX) a few days ago if I recall even though 3.1 was released last month. However, as stated on the homepage, for those who use this in scripts and such, the latest version is still 3.1-rc4:
Aug 21, 2003: Please don't use finger.kernel.org for any sort of automatic monitoring. The number of automatic bots hitting this port is causing the finger daemon to shut down more often than not. The same information is available from http://www.kernel.org/kdist/finger_banner.
http://www.kernel.org/kdist/finger_banner shows: The latest linux-next version of the Linux kernel is: next-20110831 The latest linux-next version of the Linux kernel is: next-20110831 The latest snapshot 3 version of the Linux kernel is: 3.1-rc4-git2 The latest mainline 3 version of the Linux kernel is: 3.1-rc4 The latest stable 3.0 version of the Linux kernel is: 3.0.4 The latest stable 2.6.39 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.39.4 The latest stable 2.6.38 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.38.8 The latest stable 2.6.37 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.37.6 The latest longterm 2.6.35 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.35.14 The latest longterm 2.6.34 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.34.10 The latest longterm 2.6.33 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.33.19 The latest longterm 2.6.32 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.32.46 The latest longterm 2.6.27 version of the Linux kernel is: 2.6.27.59
Should one use the homepage / finger_banner or write a script to monitor the FTP directory to check for the latest version/s?
