rt patch set and tags on mainline repo

rt patch set and tags on mainline repo

[Venkat Subbiah]

Hello,

I am still not able to figure out which of Linus's tag in the mainline 
repo would an rt patch set apply to.

For example this patch here
http://web.archive.org/web/20110612145812/http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/patch-2.6.33.9-rt31.gz 


I thought could apply to the v2.6.33 tag ( 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=tag;h=4ac8e07ee3f251ae32329a24e0b01a316b21ead9) 
but it doesn't apply cleanly.

Q1) Alsolooks like the https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page is 
still not available. Is there a location where I can get the split patch 
equivalent of "patch-2.6.33.9-rt31.gz".

Q2) I am really looking to patch a 2.6.32 kernel. Are there rt patch 
sets available for this version even if they are unofficial?

Thanks,
Venkat

2.6.33.9-rt applies to 2.6.33.9 which is a stable release. Stable
kernels are not part of Linus tree. 

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-2.6.33.y

Not at the moment.

No. Just my 0,01$: Move your BSP to 2.6.33 or 3.0 instead of
attempting to backport rt to 33. But it's your decision and your time
to waste. :0

Thanks for you reply.

Once the rt wiki is back would there be one or a split patch hasn't been created at all for 2.6.33.9-rt1?

Is there a split patch for any 2.6.33 version?

Thanks for you input, but it may not be my decision too!
