Kernel security support policy [message #30226]

What is your kernel security support policy for the RHEL4 branch? According to http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kernel/rhel4/023stab046.2 the RHEL4 branch is "maintained". However, the latest version available on that page (according to the timestamps in http://download.openvz.org/kernel/branches/rhel4-2.6.9/023st ab046.2/) is from December 2007. Reading the RHN updates page at https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel4es-errata.html reveals that there have been three security updates to the kernel this year.

Do you have any plans to release updated kernel packages? Or is the "maintained" status of this branch actually inaccurate?

Right now I'm preparing the new 2.6.9 kernel 023stab047.1 based on last RHEL4 update kernel (2.6.9-67.0.15.EL).
I'm going to finish this task today-tomorrow, then the kernel will be tested and released (I expect on the next week)

thank you,
Vasily Averin
