This does not mean it does not deserve to be fixed once people complain. Debian and Fedora download the source package and host it themself so they don't rely on upstream's copy of it. Other, such as buildroot or Gentoo or even yocto download it on every request. > How many kernels back to you need to keep?

What I am asking is to either please keep all rt-tests releases in https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/rt-tests/ but this would also mean that the older folder becomes removed and this might upset more people. Then there is the alternative especially if you prefer to have only the latest release on top to please keep all releases in https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/rt-tests/older/ even the current one. This does not sound annoying, does it? The latter is what I do with RT patches while I release them after people complained so I have the latest release in https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/$version/ and https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/$version/older/ > John Sebastian
