Mainline kernel and patches is senior level. If you notice, there's no '.' between the mainline version and the rt version. It's a dash "-rtX". What that number represents is the version of the patch series for that release. We don't start a new version at each stable release, but we do start a new one at each major release. Thus, -rt19 is the 19th version of this rt patch series. When we rebase on top of another major release, a lot of rewrites need to be done, and we start a new version series. Resetting the -rt number at each minor release would not be useful to us and thus not necessary. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
