[ANNOUNCE] Linux-RT for Debian

[ANNOUNCE] Linux-RT for Debian

[Robert Schwebel]

Hi,

Pengutronix has started providing the Realtime Preemption Linux kernel
packages for the Debian distribution on http://debian.pengutronix.de.

Debian is well established as a solid base for IT services for years.
Nevertheless, users from the automation industry until now still had the
problem that they had to patch their kernels manually if they had hard
realtime requirements.

The Debian packets provided now consist of the kernels in exactly the
state as they have been released by the maintainers. This makes it
possible that users can direct their bug reports directly into the
upstream Realtime Preemption project, in order to improve the common
code base.

The project page is here:
http://www.pengutronix.de/software/linux-rt/debian_en.html

For discussions, bug reports etc. please use the linux-rt-users mailing
list. Kudos to the Pengutronix Debian team (Uwe Kleine-Koenig, Meike
Reichle and Alexander Reichle-Schmehl) for making this possible!

If you happen to be at the Dresden during the next days, please come
around and meet parts of the Pengutronix RT team there:
