A good way to be kept informed of new software releases is by mailing list. |
12 |
For vanilla-sources, use linux-kernel-announce@×××××××××××.org. |

For gentoo-sources, use gentoo-kernel@l.g.o |

By the way I recommend you to subscribe to the announce lists of all |
21 |
software that matters to you. For example, gentoo-announce (which |
22 |
carries important notices such as glsa notices and new Gentoo |
23 |
releases), gcc-announce, etc. |
