Are there people that use the -rt patch set in real industrial applications?
Yes. But we use a stabilized version of 2.6.16-rt29.

Thanks for the pointer.
I'm confused: patch-2.6.16-rt29-tglx3 is dated 2006-09-07, yet there
have been numerous revisions of the -rt patch set since then. Does that
mean that no serious bugs have been found since September? Do the -rt
patch sets for 2.6.17 - 2.6.20 only bring new features and/or adapt the
-rt infrastructure to the newer kernels?
It seems that, if an important bug is found in the -rt part, I will have
to either upgrade to the latest kernel, or back port all the -rt changes
to the kernel I chose for my application?
Yep.
Ouch :-)
I think I'll try my luck with 2.6.20 (it's been working so far).
By the way, I have a question: when I compile glibc for this system,
should I compile it against the vanilla 2.6.20 includes, or against the
patched 2.6.20-rt includes?
Regards.
