Hey guys, this leads to nothing. I agree with Gilles that a distro package that could appear to users like it's as mature as upstream while it isn't does not help anyone. But not all the work here is paid, and resources will remain limited. So Roland's remark is valid as well that not everything can be done instantly in The Perfect Way. The only way to resolve this without killing the idea of ready-to-use Xenomai package is to openly discuss the problems of both sides and try to find optimal solutions. I also bet Roland would be happy about patch-based discussions - just like we are for upstream. Just let the discussion take place here on this list, in an objective manner, and ideally before things may show up in releases etc. Jan
