It should stay in the tree, especially when using it against git and not releases. So additional to the already mentioned problems we would have to match two repos with submodules or whatever. Send patches to two communities .. no thanks. Several people said that they use it and want to keep it. And Leopold offered to maintain it. I hope that offer stands also if the directory stays in the xenomai tree. If so i think the problem is solved and we can all continue this thread with a nice distro war ;).
