Latest Dovetail patch release?

Latest Dovetail patch release?

[Aaron Marcher]

Hi,

currently it is a little bit confusing to identify the latest Dovetail
patch release:

	https://xenomai.org/downloads/dovetail/

lists the latest kernel 5.15 relase as 5.15.51
(patch-5.15.51-dovetail1.patch.bz2). While on

	https://source.denx.de/Xenomai/linux-dovetail/-/tags

the latest tag for kernel 5.15 is 5.15.119.
Where can one find the latest, stable & tested Dovetail patch?

Thanks,
Aaron

With Xenomai 3, we are testing v{5.10,5.15,6.1}.y-dovetail-rebase as
well as latest v6.x-dovetail-rebase, always the head revisions.

Regarding patches, I would refrain from looking at
https://xenomai.org/downloads/dovetail/ as it stalled last year. Use the
linux-dovetail repo.

Thanks for the information. Maybe this can be added to the documentation
anywhere or as a README file to the (old) download location to prevent
further confusion?

We have doc/asciidoc/README.INSTALL.adoc which mentions --dovetil (nice
typo...). Seems we should fix that up (or even remove/retire --dovetail
from the prepare-kernel script if we do not plan to maintain the patch
download location).

Please place a short README file at https://xenomai.org/downloads/{dovetail, ipipe, xenomai}
which states where to find recent releases.
