README.md
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.
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:
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!
