<p>created</p>
<p><b>New page</b></p><div>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.<br />
<br />
== Branches ==<br />
<br />
The following branches are available from http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/:<br />
<br />
* Stable, maintained branches:<br />
** [http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/rhel5-2.6.18 rhel5-2.6.18]<br />
** [http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/2.6.18 2.6.18]<br />
** [http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/rhel4-2.6.9 rhel4-2.6.9]<br />
<br />
* Development branches (will eventually reach the stable status):<br />
** [http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/2.6.20 2.6.20]<br />
** [http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/sles10-2.6.16 sles10-2.6.16]<br />
<br />
* Obsoleted (no more maintained) branches:<br />
** [http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/fc5 fc5]<br />
** [http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/2.6.16 2.6.16]<br />
** [http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/2.6.15 2.6.15]<br />
** [http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/2.6.8 2.6.8] (reached stable)<br />
<br />
== Each branch ==<br />
<br />
In each kernel branch directory (e. g. [http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/2.6.18 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.<br />
<br />
== Stable/devel symlinks ==<br />
<br />
In addition, the top level directory (e.g. [http://download.openvz.org/kernel/ kernel/]) have the following symlinks for your convenience, pointing to the latest kernels in the appropriate branch:<br />
<br />
* stable-2.6.18-rhel5 -> branches/rhel5-2.6.18/stable<br />
* stable-2.6.18 -> branches/2.6.18/stable<br />
* stable-2.6.9-rhel4 -> branches/rhel4-2.6.9/<br />
* stable-2.6.8 -> branches/2.6.8/stable<br />
<br />
* latest-2.6.20 -> branches/2.6.20/current<br />
* latest-2.6.18 -> branches/2.6.18/current<br />
* latest-2.6.16 -> branches/2.6.16/current<br />
* latest-2.6.15 -> branches/2.6.15/current<br />
<br />
== Backward-compatible symlinks ==<br />
<br />
Also, a few symlinks are provided in order to try to maintain backward compatibility with the old directory structure:<br />
<br />
* debian -> branches/debian<br />
* devel -> branches/2.6.20<br />
* fc5 -> branches/fc5<br />
* rhel5 -> branches/rhel5-2.6.18/<br />
* suse10 -> branches/sles10-2.6.16/<br />
