[Adeos-main] [OLDGEN] adeos r17 patch for 2.4.27

[Adeos-main] [OLDGEN] adeos r17 patch for 2.4.27

[Klaas Gadeyne]

Hi,

I was encountering the gcc-3.4 problem when trying to compile rtai on
a 2.4.27 kernel with the adeos r16 patch included with rtai.
<https://mail.rtai.org/pipermail/rtai/2005-March/010819.html>
and
<https://mail.rtai.org/pipermail/rtai/2005-March/010701.html>

As I understood, this problem has been fixed in r17.  I found this
announcement <https://mail.rtai.org/pipermail/rtai/2005-March/010821.html>, but 
the r17 patches seem to have dissappeared from download.gna.org?

Is it better to use the r18c1 candidate instead (speaking OLDGEN
patches, that is)?  Or maybe, more appropriately, has development for
adeos 2.4 patches stopped with r18c1?

Thx,

Klaas Gadeyne

The adeos 2.4 branch development has not been stopped but all the 
modifications from the adeos 2.6 branch are not backported to 2.4.

The reason is not lack of time (but it could be), it is just not necessary 
considering the use of this patch branch (kilauea, vesuvio,... but not 
xenomai).

The candidate release 18 was released at least two months ago. You can use it. 
It can be considered as stable. I have not noticed any problem reported. I am 
working on something else this moment, I still have not found the time to 
update the r18c1 patches to stable; but it will be done.

Regards.

Alexis.

Does that mean that only bug fixes go into the 2.4 oldgen branch,
but not e.g. feature "modifications" done in the 2.6 branch ?

Thanks and best regards,
Hannes.
