[Xenomai] [Announce] Xenomai 2.6.4

[Xenomai] [Announce] Xenomai 2.6.4

[Gilles Chanteperdrix]

Hi,

I have just made available Xenomai 2.6.4 at the usual address:
http://download.gna.org/xenomai/stable/xenomai-2.6.4.tar.bz2

This release mainly fixes bugs, and do not add many new functionalities, 
I guess because we are busy preparing xenomai 3.0:
- support for I-pipe patch for 3.14 with a performance improvement on 
ARM Cortex A9, and support for the OMAP L138 processor;
- disabling of C1E state on recent Intel processors
- support for powerpc SPE
- various improvements of the Debian packaging, notably support for the 
armhf architecture and addition of a debug package
- clarification of the licenses, now every source file should have a 
license header
- removal of the docbook documentation, as this documentation is now 
available on the website

Thanks for all contributions.
Regards.

Just FYI, When following the directions to build debian packages, the
debian packages are named with 2.6.3 filenames rather than the expected
2.6.4.

Yes, we are not going to update the instructions every time we release
an new version. Which is why the instructions say:

This howto was written for Xenomai 2.6.3, please use the latest stable
Xenomai release and adapt the version numbers accordingly.

Then, when building the kernel:

We use Xenomai 2.6.3 and Linux 3.10.32 on x86 in the following example,
please adapt it to the versions and architectures you want to install.

Do you see a way to make the instructions more clear?

Gilles,

OK, you are right, it is my fault.  It was the word-wrap in the
instructions that got me screwed up:

Create a new debian changelog entry:
xenomai-2.6.3$ DEBEMAIL="your@email" DEBFULLNAME="Your Name" debchange -v
2.6.3 Release 2.6.3

In my browser looks like:

Create a new debian changelog entry:
xenomai-2.6.3$ DEBEMAIL="your@email" DEBFULLNAME="Your Name" debchange -
v 2.6.3 Release 2.6.3

So I left everything off the second line, which was actually a
continuation of the first line.

I tried and improve the visibility of shell command lines by changing
the style they use, the line breaks are also now explicit with a \

Nice work Gilles - that is much easier to read!

You could export some variables, defining the versions in the beginning,
and the rest of the instructions will be always the same. Just a proposal,
I do not know.
