[Xenomai-help] matching a kernel and xenomai patch

[A User]

I see that Xenomai 2.4.6.1 supports Linux 2.6.27-x86-2.1-02, it's not clear exactly which Linux tar to start with.

I understand 2.6.27.  I can guess what x86 means, but I don't get 2.1-02.

2.6.27 currently has build numbers up to 15 (that is, 2.6.27.15).  Do I use Xenomai 2.5.6.1 with Linux 2.6.27.15, or 2.6.27.2, or does 2.1-02 mean something else?  Is this covered in a faq?

It is the version of the patch, as it happens often that there are
several versions of adeos I-pipe patches for the same kernel.

The adeos I-pipe patch usually applies on any release. It happens that
it is false, in this case, a new patch is issued, called for instance:
adeos-ipipe-2.6.27.13-x86-2.2-04.patch, meaning that it works from linux
2.6.27.13 onward.
