+Backports
+=========
+
+The *Backports Project* enables old kernels to run the latest drivers.
+
+"*Backporting*" is the process of making new software run on something
+old. A version of something new that's been modified to run on something
+old is called a "*backport*".
+
+The Backports Project develops tools to automate the backporting process
+for Linux drivers. These tools form the *backports* suite.
+
+History
+-------
+
+The Backports Project started in 2007 as *compat-wireless*. It was
+renamed to *compat-drivers* as the project's scope broadened beyond just
+wireless network drivers. Nowadays, the project is known simply as
+*backports*.
+
+As of the 3.10-based release, over 830 device drivers had been
+backported.
+
+Recent versions of backports support mainline kernels back to version
+3.0. The older backports-3.14 supports all kernel versions back to
+version 2.6.26.
