sched-fix_up_build.patch is only required with smp-nice-support6.diff, which is the latest version of SMP nice. That patch is a simple build fix for uniprocessor systems which effects smp-nice-support6.diff.
Edit: Other then that, nice job.
Edit: I'll also mirror this release on sourceforge.

Expect new release either tonight or tomorrow. Going to add the new execshield-nx in, genpatches, and maybe create an ebuild for those who don't like to patch manually. Anyone have any requests?
Also thinking about making an unstable splitoff called viper-sources, with rtp. I personally think FullRT is getting better all the time. Anyone interested? _________________ Viper-Sources Maintainer || nesl247 Projects || vipernicus.org blog |

Personally, I'd rather not see dark split with Realtime Preempt, as that really isn't suited towards desktop/server users. _________________ System: predatorbox

Then your welcome to go for it. _________________ System: predatorbox

For movies? Surely you don't need RT for that... |

I haven't done much testing, but my hopes were that RT might help with the encoding process, takes almost 12 hours or more. _________________ Viper-Sources Maintainer || nesl247 Projects || vipernicus.org blog |

Ok serious misunderstanding then. RT will make the encoding process longer. It only helps microlatencies for things like audio and video sampling and for the rest of the time incurs much more overhead. For playback of audio or video RT is not required, and for cpu intensive things (eg video encoding) it is detrimental. |

No.
When code is in that heavy a stage of development it is impossible to document until it stabilises. |

I see that the new release is still unreleased, I think that by now It should be fully tested even with set-backs :\. _________________ System: predatorbox

Been having to work overtime at my job lately. I haven't had enough time to do much testing. I emailed you on your dcaf-security email. _________________ Viper-Sources Maintainer || nesl247 Projects || vipernicus.org blog |

According to the email vipernicus sent, he's unable to maintain dark anymore due to his job, so I figured I'd make an offical announcement, that dark is likely to become unmaintained unless someone can meet the below requirements and has the free time to develop dark.
Maintainer requirements:
1. Must realise -dark's goal, I'm not just handing the torch to anyone here.
2. Must beable to work with these goals
3. Must beable to fix basic rejects
4. Must be willing to boot-test and run each release for 24 hours (per build)
Edit: As of now, dark is offically unmaintained, it was fun well it lasted.
Edit: I've decided, that I will produce patches, but leave testing to the users, after releasing a new version and I receive either positive or negative feedback, I'll deem it either stable or unstable. _________________ System: predatorbox
