[...] if a dozen mails werent enough then one more probably wont make a difference, especially with your last mail calling Thomas's behavior "childish" - when all he did was to try to explain his reasons to you as patiently as possible! Thomas is not obliged to teach you or bear with you - it is his own free choice. (But if you want to discuss this personal angle any further please take the public lists (and other people) off the Cc: list, it's getting very off-topic.) Thomas's stuff is now fully integrated into the -rt tree and it works excellently. I have measured a 12 usecs worst-case HR timer-delivery latency (using cyclictest). _That_ is the thing i care about. > [...] It will waste my time, I could spend on other projects and it > will put Andrew in the unfortunate position to decide, which patch to > accept. [...] yes, please, put Andrew (and me too) into that unfortunate position! Please, pretty please, get on with the patches!
