rt-sources-2.6.33.7-r30.ebuild is the last version into the overlay. I
can see from the Manifest than something seam to be wrong:

# cat Manifest
....
DIST linux-2.6.33.tar.bz2 ...

when according to http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/,
it should be linux-2.6.33.9.tar.bz2

The kernel-2 eclass is in the eclass directory of portage. It is quite
complicated and don't have the time to look at it.

An alternative way to get the right files would be to use:

##ATTENTION: hard-coded versions !
RT_PATCH="patch-2.6.33.9-rt31.bz2"
KERNEL_URI="http://www.kernel..org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/longterm/v2.6.33/linux-2.6.33.9.tar.bz2"

into the ebuild.

In general, any variable defined into an ebuild will take over the same
variable defined somewhere else (into the kernel-2 eclass in this case)-

Ciao,
Dominique

Hey Taking a ride into the post, im just curious, but there is a way update kernel to get low-latency, in 2.6.38, Versions before this have some trouble in my pcmachine, too much things are working in .38.x version. I try get vanilla .38 and app last patch but im unhappy in my attempt.
