Getting a kernel chosen in Debian for which there is a working ipipe/xenomai patch is certainly a problem. Still having the runtime be packaged is quite handy. > Ok, we agree at last, it seems. Absolutely. Don't want thousands of build time options, but a few are certainly useful at times. If there was an obvious right choice for the mount it ought to be used, but there isn't. So far everyone just knows what the wrong places are, with no right places yet. -- Len Sorensen _______________________________________________ Xenomai mailing list [email protected] http://www.xenomai.org/mailman/listinfo/xenomai
