Hi Yann!
Here's an update of the supported Linux kernels. I've also added a short
help text to 2.6.27 about what "long-term stable" means.
I also tried to set the (latest) 2.6.27 as the "default" selection, but
that didn't seem to work - you may want to remove or fix that, depending
on weather or not you think it's a good idea for crosstool-NG to recommend
any specific kernel version.
On the lack of 2.6.31.10, see the ChangeLog for 2.6.31.11:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.31.11
Regards

Joachim, All,
Hey! You've been quite prolific recently! :-)

Yeah, good! :-)

In crosstool-NG, we should not recommend any particular version. If we
did, people may be inclined to believe some QA was passed, and that we
can't afford.

That's a non-issue for crostool-NG, as only the headers are used, but...
Oh! well... Ack.
I'm testing a few changes atop your patches, and they will pop up
soonish...
Thank you!
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Yep, gearing up for a couple of new toolchains at work. Thought I'd
pitch in a give some back, for a change. :)

OK, sounds more than reasonable.

No problem. You're the one deserving all the praise! Working in the
background, maintaining server(s), caching tarballs and doing a lot of
work in the background nobody ever sees.
Keep up the good work Yann!
