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.  

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.  

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.
 

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?

So, when someone on a free software
project support mailing list gives you answer, you have to try and
understand.
 
If you do not understand the answer, just say so, and do
not ignore it, trying things at random, and post more mails, wasting
his time, and loosing credit. 
 
Being a newbie, i am loosing my credit in whatever way i do in front of impatient authoritative Xenomai software creator like you. If i say, "i don't understand', you would say, please go elsewhere, this is not for newbies. if i say, 'how this is being done', you would say ( above your own statement) do what is recommended, search the mailing lists, you would get the answer. 

 When a mail is not answered, wait a
day or two before asking more questions, to give time to people
doing the support answer you. 

This is completely irrelevant in the original issues. You trying hard to get me and as hard as you could.

Not achieving your goals, now you through the books.


Think again, have you really resolved the real issues? others who have or are reading these would be puzzled what was the real issue. i will let them to judge it themselves.
