From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Ingo Molnar Subject: v2.6.20-rt1, yum/rpm Date: Mon, 5 Feb 2007 07:56:36 +0100 Message-ID: <20070205065636.GA1652@elte.hu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: linux-rt-users@vger.kernel.org To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Received: from mx2.mail.elte.hu ([157.181.151.9]:47430 "EHLO mx2.mail.elte.hu" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1752772AbXBEHs2 (ORCPT ); Mon, 5 Feb 2007 02:48:28 -0500 Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-rt-users-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-rt-users.vger.kernel.org i have released the v2.6.20-rt1 kernel, which can be downloaded from the usual place: http://redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/ more info about the -rt patchset can be found in the RT wiki: http://rt.wiki.kernel.org This is a fixes-only release. Since the -rt tree has been closely tracking Linus' upstream kernel since -rc1, no new issues are expected - please re-report if anything is still unfixed. There are lots of changes relative to 2.6.19-rt6 (the last stable release), but these are mostly fixes and other gradual improvements. KVM is now enabled in the yum kernel on both i686 and x86_64 (and has been enabled since around -rc1-rt1), the -rt tree tracks kvm-trunk (which is a bit fresher than upstream KVM) and has a few additional paravirt speedups implemented and enabled. to build a 2.6.20-rt1 tree, the following patches should be applied: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.20.tar.bz2 http://redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/patch-2.6.20-rt1 the -rt YUM repository for Fedora Core 6 and 5, for architectures i686 and x86_64 can be activated via: cd /etc/yum.repos.d wget http://people.redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/rt.repo yum install kernel-rt.x86_64 # on x86_64 yum install kernel-rt # on i686 yum update kernel-rt # refresh - or enable yum-updatesd as usual, bugreports, fixes and suggestions are welcome, Ingo
