Hi Gilles,

No problem - always just take the latest one, currently 2.4.3-7.

Fine. Just do the changes the way you like it Xenomai ("upstream"):
Bashism fixes and man pages in the proper upstream place. On next merge
from Xenomai (e.g. 2.4.4 to Debian 2.4.4-1), I will synchronize it from
xenomai.org. For 2.4.3, the respective change would require maintainer
script regeneration due to changes in Makefile.am's, which I would like
to prevent.

So feel free to do a 2.4.4 (or whatever) release soon. :-)

(For integrating the Debian changes in addition to the respective
upstream changes, just remove the man pages in debian/,
debian/xenomai-runtime.manpages and the /bin/bash patch.)

bye,
  Roland
