This is fantastic news for me. I originally dug up Michael Büsch's
preempt-rt patches in order to run LinuxCNC on RedHat-like distros,
where I have quite an investment in infrastructure. (Not knocking
Debian at all; I've seriously contemplated a very painful switch because
of the greater availability of these tools!) First, I thought all this
time that the preempt-rt patches were not working, but Charles has
indicated that they actually are. Now there's a second choice with your
work on Xenomai.
I'm compiling up a Xenomai-patched RPM and utilities right now, and will
report back with results.
Thank you so much. This is a major step closer to having a fully FOSS,
automated and reproducible CAD/CAM/CNC workflow.
John
