grsecurity 1.9.6 for 2.4.18 kernel ???

I think it has been available for a while then removed to be replaced by the 2.4.19 version.
Is there a place where I can find the history of grsecurity patches ?
What is the last version available for a 2.4.18 kernel ?
Thanks
Jacques

Hi Jacques,

afaik there is no place with a history of the patches and also downloadable. The only thing I think of is the CVS-changelog for grsecurity what has been removed/added/fixed.

The last version for kernel 2.4.18 is grsecurity v1.9.5. All later versions are for 2.4.19.

Anyway, I do a merge to my WOLK project which is based on 2.4.18 (I don't want to use 2.4.19 cause its horribly slow in some circumstances).
It needs some work to newest grsecurity patches to apply and work clean on a 2.4.18, but after that, it works great :)

ciao, Marc

Marc:
Let me know when you will have a 1.9.6 grsecurity patch for the 2.4.18 kernel. I am definitively interested.
The CVS won't work: there is no 2.4.18 branch in it. Apparently it was initialized recently.
Brad: do you have the grsecurity history lying around ? What about a http://www.grsecurity.org/download subdir ???
Cheers
