Re: [Devil-linux-develop] Opinion please; What do you think?

Andrzej,

Could you please tarball the work you have done with the newer kernel,  
so I can continue working on it?
I just saw that grsecurity will drop support for the 3.2 kernel series  
by the end of the year. This means we'll have to upgrade to 3.14,  
which is the latest long-term kernel version grsecurity supports.
