Hi,

For the Debian squeeze users, the xenomai packages are available on
xenomai server, for the amd64 architecture. To use them, add:

deb http://www.xenomai.org/debian squeeze main

to /etc/apt/sources.list, then:
apt-get update
apt-get install xenomai-keyring
apt-get install linux-image-3.5.7-xenomai-2.6.2 xenomai-runtime

You should then be able to reboot on the new kernel, and launch:
xeno latency

These packages are a preview version, not really 2.6.2, but not yet the
next release.

Regards.

great!!!

Please Gilles, the linux image is produced using an standard stock version 
(just patched with xenomai)?

Yes, this is vanilla linux 3.5.7 with the xenomai patch applied, and a
kernel configuration derived from debian configuration for linux 3.2,
enabling every new option (as a module if possible) in 3.5 compared to 3.2.

Hi Gilles,

I see that 3.5.7 is the most recent kernel in the 3.5 series.  Xenomai
2.6.2 (and also master, and adeos ipipe) ships patches labeled for
3.5.3, but you have presumably applied the 3.5.3 patches to the 3.5.7
kernel.

Is it acceptable practice to apply the Xenomai patches to later
sublevels in the same 3.x series like this, or is this best left to
experts like you?  When doing this, have you generally found the
resulting kernel to be reasonably stable?

	John

I have upgraded from 3.5.3 to 3.5.7 because of an NFS bug which caused a
kernel oops on my workstation (I usually do not test xenomai on my
workstation, except that it is the easiest way to test debian packages).
The 3.5.7 kernel seems to be reasonably stable, though I still have an
unexplained bug on ARM omap3 (when compiled with CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL
and CONFIG_SLAB, disabling one of these options makes the bug go away),
but could not reproduce it on x86.

As for what is acceptable or not, what matters is your level of
exigence. What I do to consider that a kernel is stable is run the
xeno-regression-test script, which shakes the computer quite a bit, but
you may consider it is too much or not enough testing.

Hi again,

for those interested in debian packages, the linux-image package was
renamed linux-image-3.5.7-xenomai-2.6.2-amd64 and CONFIG_FTRACE disabled
to improve latencies, and the i686 versions of the packages were added.

Regards.
