The Adeos project has officially released 722 patches over 7 different
architectures since June 6 2002; now, just imagine how the various patches/
directories would look like if we did not remove the older versions. On i386, we
have patches for almost all kernels ranging from 2.4.2x to 2.6.25.
The patches/ directory contains material which has been used to validate the
Xenomai release in question; this does not mean that no other patches may be
used. We actually have a decent record of maintaining backward compatibility in
that area.
There is a recent FAQ entry giving some hints: http://www.xenomai.org/index.php/FAQs
