Maintaining a working RT kernel is out of scope for openSUSE basic distribution. Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Michal Smrž (ilfirin) Product Manager: (Novell) Project Manager: (Novell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There is no official kernel-rt and kernel-rt-source in main repository (and main update). Realtime kernel is very important for audio workers and those, who need very fast responses. There are third party packages, but official support for realtime kernel would be much better. Discussion: #1: Rajko Matovic (rajko_m) (2009-04-27 21:31:27) Please see the openSUSE news article: People of openSUSE: Jan Engelhardt (http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/23/people-of-opensuse-jan-engelhardt/) it explains why it is not included in openSUSE 11.1. #2: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2009-12-05 14:14:50) At the openSUSE Conf 2009, it was mentioned that SUSE focuses rather on Server RT usage than Desktop RT usage. + #3: Bruno Canning (iclbmc1) (2010-12-08 14:20:55) + Hi Folks, I would like to see official support for a desktop real-time + kernel too. Again, for those of us who which to use suse as a base + system for a digital audio workstation. I'm interested in reviving the + JackLab Audio Distribution after I finish my thesis but for now I'd + like to be able to play around with audio programmes aided by an -rt + kernel. Currently, there is a kernel-rt package for 11.3 in the oss + repo but it is at version 2.6.31, whereas kernel-desktop is at version + 2.6.34.7. So I'm thinking that the kernel-rt is unlikely to be a drop- + in replacement here. I've had a look at Jan Engelhardt's good work but + even his latest kernel-rt is at 2.6.33.7. So what to do? + Many thanks to all in advance. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306385
