\frametitle{The future of the PREEMPT\_RT patchset}
- Conclusion of the Realtime Linux minisummit (Nov. 2013):
\begin{itemize}
- \item {\em The PREEMPT\_RT project will be done in 2014, "one way or another".
- The first way would be to get most of the rest of the code upstream, but
- that will require more of an effort, from a wider group than is
- currently involved. The alternative is to decide that the 95\% of the
- realtime work already upstream is good enough and to drop further
- efforts.}
- \item Main issue: lack of companies devoting enough engineering
- resources to complete the job.
- \item See \url{http://lwn.net/Articles/572740/}
+ \item July 2014 status: the project is stalled because of lack
+ of funding. Thomas Gleixner is still the maintainer but
+ lacks time for further development and mainlining efforts.
+ He must work on other topics that pay the bills!
+ \item December 2014: the latest release is 3.14.10-rt7 (while
+ mainline is 3.18).
+ \item Contact (and contract) Thomas if you need further
+ features and support for newer kernels.
+ \item See \url{http://lwn.net/Articles/604695/}
\end{itemize}
