We are pleased to announce the 2.6.24-rt1 tree, which can be
downloaded from the location:

Information on the RT patch can be found at:

  http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page

Changes since 2.6.24-rc8-rt1

  - ported to 2.6.24


to build a 2.6.24-rt1 tree, the following patches should be applied:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.24.tar.bz2
  http://rt.et.redhat.com/download/patch-2.6.24-rt1.bz2


And like always, my RT version of Matt Mackall's ketchup will get this
for you nicely:

  http://people.redhat.com/srostedt/rt/tools/ketchup-0.9.8-rt3


The broken out patches are also available.


*** NOTICE ***

This still has the old version of the latency tracer. I'll try to
release a -rt2 soon that has the new version. This way we can see what
kind of regressions the new version might give.

This is taking longer than expected. Removing the old latency tracer has
caused a bit to be broken. The latency tracer has been in the RT kernel
for so long that it has hooks in lots of unrelated patches. It's taking a
bit of surgury to remove all the bits without killing the rest.

I will not be working on this over the weekend. I'll start back up on
Monday.
