And I understood that completely. However my thought is we all use
binary systems - it's just a question about how it becomes binary.

Somewhat different POV here. I run Gentoo and therefore everything is
built from source. Clearly to each his or her own.
But with respect to the kernel it's my experience that 98% of the
stuff any of us doing low-latency audio stuff is identical and then
the only differences would be chipset specific things. These days with
only 4-5 chipset manufacturers (Intel, Nvidia, ATI, AMD and then maybe
Via and a couple of others) it seems to me that we should have a
non-distro specific web page somewhere that goes through this for
audio kernels. I suspect that Fernando already has this somewhere for
CCRMA. Possibly leverage from that?
Personally I don't like distro kernels because distro packagers are
forever adding things to the kernel that aren't tested by the
rt-kernel team and I don't want to deal with those problems.
Just my 2 cents,
Mark And that may be true for the popular distros, but Arch
does not "add" to
their kernels/packages _unnecessarily_, so neither does archaudio.org :)
Good to know. Not true about Gentoo.
None the less, the real-time kernel source form Ingo and the rest of
the team doesn't have any additions other than the rt stuff so it
meets that requirement which I think we both appreciate.
Anyway, my thought was more about creating commonality between the
kernels users like those on this list run instead of letting some
nameless/faceless person out in the ether make decisions about that
create different problems for each of us. Probably it's of no interest
to others.
Cheers,
Mark
