Dear RT Folks,

I'm pleased to announce the 3.0-rt1 release.

Changes versus 3.0-rc7-rt0:

 * Update to Linus final 3.0 release

 * RTC bugfixes (scheduled for mainline/stable)

 * Long standing (rt only) timer_list bug (see    timers-avoid-the-base-null-otptimization-on-rt.patch in the split    out quilt queue)

 * Minor non exciting fixes all over the place

Known issues:

 * Some weird "console=..." commandline + config dependent    interactions which have been not yet investigated down to their    root cause. Result in a boot hang. YMMV

Patch against 3.0 can be found here:

 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/patch-3.0-rt1.patch.bz2

The split quilt queue is available at:

 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/patches-3.0-rt1.tar.bz2

This calls for a new package name. The standard kernel will be named "linux", so the obvious options are "linux-rt" and "linux-realtime". Tell us which you would prefer or suggest a different suffix.

How about linux-preempt_rt since this includes the actual name of the patch. In case other rt patches exist this naming would make obvious which one is meant. Otherwise I vote for the simpler linux-rt.
