The version number with -rc should be considered older than the final release. For example, 6.14-rc1 should be older than 6.14, but to handle this correctly (just like Debian kernel), "-rc" must be replace with "~rc". $ dpkg --compare-versions 6.14-rc1 lt 6.14 $ echo $? 1 $ dpkg --compare-versions 6.14~rc1 lt 6.14 $ echo $? 0 Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
