Subject: Question about the maintenance of OOT RT patches for LTS releases (v12.x and v18.x)
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 13:11:59 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ajlez0ZNV3PJ26iz@redhat.com> (raw)

Hello!

The question is simple:

   Should we have somebody maintaining the OOT RT patches for v12.x and v18.x,
   the LTS versions that already have PREEMPT_RT in-tree?

As we still have a few OOT patches, after a while, people using PREEMPT_RT on
those versions may encounter conflicts trying to apply the old patches. And
as those patches are not in-tree, the fixes won't probably be routed via
Stable.

Best regards,
Luis
