Not much point in subscribing to the News Digest, as news messages are really infrequent.

>> Hi all...
>> This time presenting a new kernel for Fedora 8 (for now). It is in the
>> planetcore-testing repository, and you will need to --allow-downgrade to
>> install it if you have already installed a 2.6.25.x based rt kernel in
>> fc8.
>>
>> The package name needed for the yum invocation is:
>>  kernel-rt-2.6.24.7-1.rt14.3.fc8.ccrma
>>
>> Based on:
>>
>> - 2.6.24.7, latest bugfix release of the 24 series
>> - Ingo's 2.6.24.7-rt14 realtime patch
>> - Fedora's kernel-2.6.24.7-92 patches
>> - MRG kernel iteration 62
>>
>> Shaken, not stirred... :-)
>>
>> 2.6.24.7-rt14 plus all patches that apply from the last Fedora 2.6.24.7
>> based kernel (and some that I tweaked to apply), plus some extra build
>> options borrowed from the MRG kernel configuration files.
>>
>> Seems to work fine for me in my laptop - better than the 2.6.25.x based
>> kernels (no BUG's triggered so far). I intend to move it from testing to
>> stable soon so any feedback would be appreciated.
>>
>> I could build a version for fc9 but I have not decided yet whether to
