ATM we're sorting through the machinekit xenomai3 transition on debian

I assume that users will continue to run xenomai2 kernels for a long time, so 
we work towards separate (but hopefully coexisting-in-peace) packages for 
Xenomai2 and Xenomai3 (startup is driven by kernel autodetection, so booting a 
different kernel chooses the right runtime)

The libxenomai-dev and libxenomai1 in debian are all xenomai2 atm, but I assume 
Xenomai3 equivalents will appear eventually

I hope these will be able to co-reside on the same host?

Ideally suggesting the Xenomai3 packages would be separate, be named 
differently, and not supersede any installed Xenomai2 packages?


(or am I blundering and I can run applications linked against the Xenomai3 
libraries on a Xenomai2 kernel? my tests so far indicate - not)


thanks in advance,

Michael


btw: a working 3.14 Xenomai3 kernel for the Beaglebone (and likely X15) 
appeared the other day in "deb [arch=armhf] http://repos.rcn-ee.net/debian/ 
jessie main" , thanks to Robert Nelson!
