[Xenomai] timeline for 2.6.2.2?

[Xenomai] timeline for 2.6.2.2?

[Daniel M. Drucker, Ph.D.]

Is there a planned 2.6.2.2? Could there be?

There are a few fixes since 2.6.2.1 we want, and it would ease our release
process a huge amount if we could use a released version instead of git
head.

2.6.3 is the next release. A todo list has been published here:
http://www.xenomai.org/pipermail/xenomai/2013-April/028147.html
the remaining item on the list is to update the manual pages
Then there are also some changes to be made on the debian packaging,
which should not take long, see:
http://www.xenomai.org/pipermail/xenomai/2013-April/028176.html

There is this new bug, which needs fixing:
http://www.xenomai.org/pipermail/xenomai/2013-May/028487.html
when that is done, we can issue a new I-pipe patch, then this I-pipe
patch whill have to be re-tested on all the test platforms we have. We
will then ask Paul to regenerate the Raspberry pre and post patches, as
he asked here:
http://www.xenomai.org/pipermail/xenomai/2013-April/028283.html

In parallel, we have another bug which needs fixing:
http://www.xenomai.org/pipermail/xenomai/2013-May/028453.html

When this is all fixed, we can compile and test the debian packages on
x86 platforms, with some luck, the linuxCNC guys will want to test them
as well on their platforms.

And when all this is done, we can release 2.6.3.

Regards.

Says:
   - x86: 3.5.7 with intel graphic card, try and find the source of high
     latencies

does this say that 2.6.3 ipipe will be based on 3.5.7? Then I'll have 
better to try track down the issue in:

It will have a patch for 3.8, but the issue has been reported on 3.5.7,
but can be reproduced on 3.8.
I thought the issue you quote was solved?

And a Xenomai release is not tied with any particular release of the
I-pipe patch and supposed to support all the past I-pipe releases. There
just so happens that it is better tested with the latests I-pipe patch
it ships with.

Is that patch available for testing now (against 2.6.2.1)?

Not for 3.5.7 on my main machine, the version form Jan's git seems to 
work OK on another machine.

Nothing blocks its release on my side now, it turns out the bug that was
blocking it was a compiler bug. But, just right now, the work on linux
3.8 is only available in git trees. It will not work with 2.6.2.1 as
some linux kernel API changes required some changes in Xenomai code,
only available in xenomai git.
