Saying that it is my fault for not incorporating the patch months ago was an over-simplification.
It is you who admitted it is your fault. I just repeat what you said. However, obviously you are not happy other people say it except yourself.
I was well aware of the TRACE_IRQFLAGS issue, and in fact, you could have been too, if you had done what is usually recommended and browsed the mailing list archives.
You are implying, i would get it resolved even without the patch, by doing the recommended and browsed the mailing list archives.
Yes.
Going to kernelnewbies was the good solution. Our resources are limited, we do not have time to teach every newbie you to enable/disable an option in the kernel configuration.
Again, you are implying, that without the patch i could get the issues resolved. Going to kernelnewbies was to confirm my logic is correct.
Yes, people are using xenomai without Jan's patch on the ARM platform: you have to get the CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS option disabled.
I have been very patient, but when someone seems not to follow simple answers he is given, he looses credit and answering him becomes less urgent.
Again, you blame me for not following the comments. You have been going back and forth on this issues. However, the evidence shows that i did follow and tried your comments, but not all of them are valid. And with others helps and my persistent, I managed to resolved some of the issues. Having said, I do not blame you for giving false answers. I do appreciate the efforts.
We must be looking at different evidences, because I re-read the thread again this morning, and clearly, at least for the cross-compilation issue (the --host thing), the way I read the evidence show that you have sent something like a dozen of mails of random tries and issues, which could have been avoided if you had passed the right argument to the --host option from the beginning.
The problem is that it would seem you have not understood how a free software project support mailing list works. Our resources are limited, for my part, I answer during my work, so 5 or 6 mails a day is not a problem, more than that I have to stop answering and answer when coming back from work.
it is you who jumps to the conclusion that i do not understand how free software project support mailing list works. it is you who thinks i am not qualified in participating the mailing list. I have done my homework. i had tried all i could before asking questions. I never expect clear solutions out from mailing lists. For your cases, i had stated my appreciation and gratefulness to your assistance, didn't i?
Yes you did. I am sorry for having sent this mail. This part was indeed a blatant lack of humility. I will stop answering now. My apologies. Regards. -- Gilles. https://click-hack.org
