The point of the project is to provide a central mechanism for backporting device drivers for ''any'' subsystem and enable ''both'' users '''and''' developers to always focus on upstream Linux kernel development. The backports project shall '''never''' include proprietary drivers and by design does not allow usage of itself with proprietary drivers. Every backports release has been test compiled ''for usage'' against all supported kernels, currently 2.6.24 - latest. Note that Linux kernel releases can become deprecated. Right now we provide backport support for all kernels 2.6.24 up to the latest release inclusive even if a kernel is deprecated however you are encouraged to follow the best practices and at the '''very''' least be on a supported Linux kernel. Supported stable kernels are annotated on [http://kernel.org kernel.org]. +The Linux kernel backports project aims at backporting Linux '''upstream''' device drivers for usage on older kernels.
