Kernel release status [LWN.net]

The current development kernel is 3.1-rc9, released on October 4. The kernel repository is back in its old location on kernel.org; Linus also has started using a new signing key with this release. "On the kernel front, not a huge amount of changes. That said, by now, there had better not be - and I definitely wouldn't have minded having even fewer changes. But the fixes that are here are generally pretty small, and the diffstat really doesn't look all that scary - there really aren't *big* changes anywhere."

Stable updates: the 3.0.5 update was released on October 3 with well over 200 important fixes; it was immediately followed by 3.0.6 to fix a build problem in the Radeon driver.

While it's true the repositories are up, the public access to the kernel releases are not.

Today I needed to get a recent kernel for testing some hardware problems and couldn't because all links are dead (*). Ended up getting a snapshot from the web git repository.

(*) And not up to date. Last stable release on kernel.org main page is 3.0.4 (with a broken link).

Does anyone know if the kernel.org pages will ever be updated? It still is at 3.0.4 as stable.
