Can someone who keeps up with RT development help me find up to date information? There do not seem to be any RT patches for 3.8 in the usual place (which as far as I know is still https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/ ).
The latest version of the patch is 3.6.11-rt30 (and the previous one is 3.4.33-rt47). No patches for 3.8.x have been announced or posted AFAIK. We'll have to be patient...
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt is the right place to look for patches...
I found a message from Fernando several months back mentioning that there was some kind of NFS bug in the 3.6-RT kernel, which is why CCRMA kernels are still based on 3.4, but despite searching lkml.org with various words and phrases, I have not been able to piece together any coherent information on the current state of 3.6 RT kernels, and why there is yet no 3.8 patch set.
There is a mailing list for the rt patches here: linux-rt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-rt-users That is where announcements usually go (new versions, patches, etc).
Is this just a case of the RT development community being rather small, so no one sees a need to make an announcement to LKML that 3.8-RT has some problems, so don't expect an RT release very soon after the mainline 3.8 release? Or am I just looking in the wrong places for information?
You are looking at the right places (except for the linux-rt-users list which you don't mention). It takes time, I don't know what is holding up the 3.8.x patches if anything.
BTW, the NFS bug is very specific for the usage I need, but other than that it seems to perform perfectly in my limited tests.
