Kernel download structure
Now, instead of having a single stable and a single development branch, there are several from each category. So, the directory structure of http://download.openvz.org/kernel (and ftp://ftp.openvz.org/kernel) was changed appropriately.
Branches[edit]
The following branches are available from http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/:
- Stable, maintained branches:
- Development, maintained branches (will eventually reach the stable status):
- Obsoleted (no more maintained) branches:
Each branch[edit]
In each kernel branch directory (e. g. kernel/branches/2.6.18) there is a 'current' symlink, pointing to the latest/newest kernel from this branch. In addition, if this branch is considered stable, there is a 'stable' symlink pointing to the same kernel.
Stable/devel symlinks[edit]
In addition, the top level directory (e.g. kernel/) have the following symlinks for your convenience, pointing to the latest kernels in the appropriate branch:
- stable-2.6.18-rhel5 -> branches/rhel5-2.6.18/stable
- stable-2.6.18 -> branches/2.6.18/stable
- stable-2.6.9-rhel4 -> branches/rhel4-2.6.9/
- stable-2.6.8 -> branches/2.6.8/stable
- latest-2.6.20 -> branches/2.6.20/current
- latest-2.6.18 -> branches/2.6.18/current
- latest-2.6.16 -> branches/2.6.16/current
- latest-2.6.15 -> branches/2.6.15/current
Backward-compatible symlinks[edit]
Also, a few symlinks are provided in order to try to maintain backward compatibility with the old directory structure:
- debian -> branches/debian
- devel -> branches/2.6.20
- fc5 -> branches/fc5
- rhel5 -> branches/rhel5-2.6.18/
- suse10 -> branches/sles10-2.6.16/
