I don't think so, at least for 2.6.26/x86*. Even if we do have an experimental patch for 2.6.24-rc1/x86, it would make sense to go for a combo x86_32/64 bit support patch for 2.6.24 directly. To get that, I'd rather take the needed time to properly merge both I-pipe branches without any release deadline pressure, and since we already have the proper infrastructure available in 2.4-rc to run over the latest x86* kernels, we may provide support for 2.6.24 during the Xenomai 2.4 maintenance cycle anyway. -- Philippe. _______________________________________________ Xenomai-core mailing list Xenomai-core@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-core
