Dear Alpine devs,

Looking at kernel.org it appears that there's a new LTS kernel - 6.1.19
Alpine currently is in the 5.15-branch, running it's latest latest 5.15.102

When can we expect a move to the new 6.1-branch?

Thanks,
Anant Prem Joshi.

3.17 (latest stable) is on 5.15-branch yes, but edge is on 6.1.19. 
Stable doesn't get new major versions of new packages, only bug and 
security fixes, unless it's functionality is completely broken without 
it (think of applications relying on network-based services changing API).

If you want 6.1.x you'll have to switch to edge, or wait for Alpine 
Linux 3.18

Best regards,
Bart

it's 6.1 in edge, we don't move between stable kernels in stable. so, 3.18
