[Steven Rostedt]

Dear RT Folks,

I'm pleased to announce the 3.2.44-rt65 stable release.


You can get this release via the git tree at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git

  branch: v3.2-rt
  Head SHA1: d94dc2cc1e5b303d70ccb394234897c24a03e3b0


Or to build 3.2.44-rt65 directly, the following patches should be applied:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.2.tar.xz

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/patch-3.2.44.xz

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.2/patch-3.2.44-rt65.patch.xz



You can also build from 3.2.44-rt64 by applying the incremental patch:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.2/incr/patch-3.2.44-rt64-rt65.patch.xz



Enjoy,
