This is the 3.4-rt stable patch directory. It holds the latest 3.4-rt patch from the 3.4 stable Linux version. The older directory contains past patches. The incr directory contains patches that will move you from one version to the next. It only includes patches moving between stable releases. The changes between vanilla Linux stable releases will not have an incremental patch. When moving from one vanilla stable release to the next, no other changes will be made, and the -rt number will increment. Changes only for -rt will always be added on top of an existing -rt release of the same vanilla stable Linux version. To email patches for inclusion, Cc the following: Thomas Gleixner Steven Rostedt linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org stable-rt@vger.kernel.org and optionally: linux-rt-users@vger.kernel.org 3.4-rt is maintained in a git repo: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git Under the branch v3.4-rt This branch will never rebase. A branch called v3.4-rt-rebase is created that will rebase between versions allowing you to create a broken out patch series of the current release against mainline Linux. Rebase versions will be tagged with the following format: v3.4.X-rtY-rebase To make a quilt queue out of a rebased tag, perform the following: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git $ cd linux-rt-stable $ git checkout v3.4.1-rt9-rebase $ mkdir patches $ git format-patch -o patches v3.4.1 $ ls patches > series $ mv series patches Now the patches directory will be a quilt queue of the broken out v3.4.1-rt9 patches. All v3.4-rt and -rt-rebase tags are signed tags with a subkey of: pub 4096R/5A56DE73 2011-09-29 Key fingerprint = 5ED9 A48F C54C 0A22 D1D0 804C EBC2 6CDB 5A56 DE73 uid Steven Rostedt (Der Hacker) A subkey is used to sign, and is not listed because they expire periodically. IMPORTANT NOTE: The rebase branch and tags are very low priority. If it becomes too time consuming to maintain, I *will* stop adding them. They will be created when I have time to do so. This rebase branch is a convenience for people that may want it. It may be discontinued at any time without notice!
