Hello all,
I'm not sure to understand the problem: the RR time slice shall follow a
strict priority ordering no?
This time slice only applies if threads have the same priority and that
the current one do not yield/sleep.
With a FIFO policy, it would be infinite instead of RR time slice.
What am I missing?

Another story is about LaTeX.. I want NuttX to have PDF Handbook
generated too for offline work and as part of releases.. there was
initial prototype created and it works. But local LaTeX setup is
complex and heavy and in search for alternatives I found.. ehm Rust
written tiny PDF generator called TYPST.. but its not yet
integrated
with Sphinx and has its own syntax that is not compatible with
LaTeX,
MD, RST (yet) :-P For people that want to quickly generate any
kind of
PDF (i.e. automation) this may be good utility though.. and
templates
generation/application is a lot easier than LaTeX :-)
Maybe it is possible to make a Docker container to generate the LaTeX
manual? Then anyone who wants to hack on the book locally could use
that?
Perhaps it would be even better if the same container had everything
to
hack on the site and documentation... thoughts?

Uhm I am on BSD no Docker here and I am not docker familiar enough to
create a reference sorry :-(
FreeBSD has bhyve, but I know this only from casually observing the
project
over the years. I used FreeBSD way back in the FreeBSD 3.3 (!!) days but
haven't had a good opportunity to try it again. I am impressed by
everything the project has achieved and would like to come back to it
someday. Anyway back to bhyve, by any chance is that compatible with any
of
the major virtualization platforms? In other words, could a virtual
machine
be created that people on non-FreeBSD platforms could use?
Bhyve is a full virtualization hypervisor native to FreeBSD. Kind of
alternative to VirtualBox. But it does not even have any GUI :-P It
offers however for instance passthrough PCI devices to the virtual
machine. I use this passthrough for USB 3.0 controller board.. on one
hand VBox allows simple port redirection but its only USB 2.0 and
often does not work as expeced. Below is an example how one guy
launched some high end games (i.e. Cyberpunk 2077 or Witcher) while
running windoze on fbsd's bhyve.

Docker is a Linux only solution, it has some kernel level hardcodes,
so its popular but not a portable solution. It does run also on macOS
but people who made that part did not talk well about implementation
:-P
Btw. looking at Typst is seems to be able to convert MD/RST/DOC now
:-) And there are two experimental plugins to Sphinx :-) Maybe soon it
will become a smaller and faster and easier alternative to LaTeX :-)
Typst does indeed look interesting. I read this comparison between TeX
and
Typst some time back:
https://laurmaedje.github.io/posts/layout-models/
I don't know much else about it.
Or perhaps we should approach this differently... Pandoc can convert many
different document formats:
https://pandoc.org/
It could convert our reStructuredText documents to PDF... but wait a
second, I see that it needs pdflatex, lualatex, xelatex, latexmk,
tektonic,
wkhtmltopdf, weasyprint, prince, pagedjs-cli, context, or pdfroff. Do you
have any of those?
I know pdflatex and latexmk this is part of TeXLive package and I use
them to build my documents :-P
Typst may be just a smaller and simpler alternative to anyone
unfamiliar to LaTeX :-P
Said that I would like to rephrase that it would be best to stick to
the RST format and Sphinx as we do currently :D :D
