After having spent quite some (obviously wasted) effort to make the code compliant with the maintainer's requests, I wonder what could have been missing. I was Ok with the Xenomai part, but we needed Philippe to review the Adeos part, and release new versions of the patches, and having delayed the 2.5.4 release for some time, and did not feel like delaying it much longer. Besides, we have started the 2.6 branch, and such a big change makes perfect material for this new branch. Your patches are not wasted, they have just been put on hold. -- Gilles. ___ Xenomai-core mailing list Xenomai-core@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-core
