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?

I'm sorry, not a split off, more of a totally different patchset called viper-sources, I like to boot into a FullRT kernel occasionally for movies.

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

Interesting, are there any scientific papers on mingo's rtp?

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 :\.

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.
