What I meant was more along the lines of: 1) merge the rtos work, this makes it possible to run linuxcnc on 12.04 and 12.10 and many other distros 2) move to 12.04 as the only officially supported distro for the latest linuxcnc 3) remove the redis source from the git repo, as it is now available as a package on any reasonably modern distro. (I have no clue/opinion on what should be called linuxcnc 2.5.x or 2.6 or even 3 out of these) Aside: Tests probably make merging safer, or at least makes it feel safer :). An automated latency-test where a repeatable controlled load (e.g. the program "stress") is applied and latency numbers recorded for a fixed time would be nice. Maybe with automated uploading to a database?
