[RFC] Following RT Linux Upstream Development

[RFC] Following RT Linux Upstream Development

[Joseph Salisbury]

Per the RTL Project wiki[0], patches for PREEMPT_RT should be sent to
LKML with the option to CC this mailing list.

As most of you know, LKML receives a lot of mail everyday.  I'm
interested in following the RT Linux Project as closely as possible,
but I would like to filter out non RT related messages on LKML.  Has
anyone found a way to do this? Are there any suggestions to filter RT
Linux messages out of all the other LKML mail?

Thanks,

Joe

Joe,

A quick answer: just subscribe to this mailing list and you will get a
smaller list of patches in your inbox that are related to real-time
Linux issues, but this is not really a complete list of ongoing work
for mainlining.

But further just to clarify this mportant point:

RT Linux is not a much separate thing from the mainline Linux; most
development of getting the last bits and pieces accepted just go to
the needed lists, e.g., the printk rework (see
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210803131301.5588-1-john.ogness@linutronix.de/),
was sent to LKML, but not to this list here. Maybe this is a good
heuristics for you: If a complete view of patches under discussion and
review is really important to you, you might just identify the names
of the core Real-time Linux Team and filter all emails from this team
on all linux-kernel mailing lists, which can be done quite easily with
lore.kernel.org nowadays. Otherwise, try to identify all the topics
under work for Real-time Linux, e.g., by looking at the remaining
PREEMPT_RT patchset, and follow exactly those on the mailing list.
