Hey Frank,
I was hoping to graft Ingo Molnar's RT patch into the "love-sources" patches, but maybe my knowledge of patching and ebuilds are not up to scratch, because I kept getting "Omitted Patch" errors when emerging my frankenstein love-sources. Anybody 'round here an ebuild wizard that could walk me through it?
Derek, yesterdy I patched the mm-sources (2.6.10-rc3-r1) [emerge mm-sources] with Ingo's realtime patch found here:
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/
If you do your emerge, and then download this patch into the newly created directory in /usr/src. do a:
patch -p1 < 'name of patch'
it should work. from here you have to enable the realtime stuff in the config (which of course I have written down somewhere, but i remeber it being easy enough to find). Mail me if this doesnt work for you. I am not an ebuild genious (just moved from ccrma to gentoo) but so far I like how things work under gentoo.
The patching went great and so far I have had a pretty solid day or so. No hard core sound testing but its nice to finally get a realtime patch to take. You may also want to look at the vivid-sources as I think they were adding ingo's patch.
