linux 4.14.12 backport



Regarding the linux-4.14.12 packages, are there plans to get this uploaded into
backports sooner than when it would normally fall in place? The docs say it is
permitted for security reasons, and as 4.14.12 is the backport with the
meltdown fix it seems to qualify.

If not, is there some documentation on tricks involved in backporting the
kernel? I was trying to backport it myself and hit the gcc-7 requirement. It
seems like there might be some standard ways of dealing with this for something
as commonly backported as the kernel.

Thank you for your time.
