patchset still being developed?

[Dennis Borgmann]

Hello rt-users!

Is the CONFIG PREEMPT RT Patch still developed? So far I canot find any
newer patchset than the one for kernel 2.6.33.7 on
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/ but what I can find
is submissions to the linux kernel related to PREEMPT stuff in the
Changelog of recent kernels.

Does this mean, that with current kernels (starting 2.6.34) no more
patching is needed and a Kernel can be configured to do realtime
preemption without patches?

If so, an update on the mainpage of the wiki would be nice...

Kind regards,
Dennis

I just installed 2.6.36.2, but it doesn't seem to have complete
preemption. I don't see the IRQs as processes and cannot set priorities
to them. Therefore 2.6.33.7 seems to be the last kernel with rt-support.
Am I right? Of so, why?

Thank you, Andy. I wasn't a member of the list back then...
