| Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: stable-kernel-rules: fix stable-tag format |
| |
| commit cf903e9d3a97f89b224d2d07be37c0f160db8192 upstream. |
| |
| A patch documenting how to specify which kernels a particular fix should |
| be backported to (seemingly) inadvertently added a minus sign after the |
| kernel version. This particular stable-tag format had never been used |
| prior to this patch, and was neither present when the patch in question |
| was first submitted (it was added in v2 without any comment). |
| |
| Drop the minus sign to avoid any confusion. |
