I've never compiled from source or applied a diff but if it needs testng and someone's willing to give me a basic outline of the procedure I'll see if I can avago.

You will need to use patch(1) to apply the patches from the PR to a kernel source tree and then build a new kernel (or a new bktr module) to test it. I believe there are some instructions in the Handbook about compiling custom kernels and possibly applying patches as well. -- John Baldwin From owner-freebsd-drivers@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Feb 28 16:03:17 2012 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-drivers@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F0DCE106566C for ; Tue, 28 Feb 2012 16:03:17 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from davidianwalker@gmail.com) Received: from mail-iy0-f182.google.com (mail-iy0-f182.google.com [209.85.210.182]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BEB738FC08 for ; Tue, 28 Feb 2012 16:03:17 +0000 (UTC) Received: by iahk25 with SMTP id k25so585840iah.13 for ; Tue, 28 Feb 2012 08:03:17 -0800 (PST) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=mime-version:in-reply-to:references:date:message-id:subject:from:to :cc:content-type; bh=h9qWRPHFpQ3VC+qUjYYKK1OsXlW5VIwW23FJIE2SQY4=; b=lqnTOEJ/H2i+srJhj9EUNayzbE12PcT0R1JrXiZMtXGhKYcxkXjmK5Ds9dm0wrRuhZ dYaXJ1MPQtSCc3Oqnnc0toHTtKfY0akx7ZyeuQDu+tKFm9pxSX8R8IVywdW5K4BzWu44 r7LvGMsiOnp6PVSLUeWTxIsZqtpkZQdXPiCac= MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: by 10.50.153.169 with SMTP id vh9mr2616484igb.41.1330444997099; Tue, 28 Feb 2012 08:03:17 -0800 (PST) Received: by 10.42.96.6 with HTTP; Tue, 28 Feb 2012 08:03:17 -0800 (PST) In-Reply-To: <201202280850.01031.jhb@freebsd.org> References: <201202280850.01031.jhb@freebsd.org> Date: Wed, 29 Feb 2012 02:33:17 +1030 Message-ID: From: David Walker To: freebsd-drivers@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Cc: Subject: Re: kern/94369: [bktr] [patch] Patch to support Leadtek WinFast Tv2000 XP bktr card X-BeenThere: freebsd-drivers@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Writing device drivers for FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2012 16:03:18 -0000 Hi John.

That might be a little out of my depth for the forseeable future. It's a good mission though. If I take on this mission, what does it take to get a piece of hardware into the tree? In this case a PR with very simple patches and apparently eyes on from a comitter didn't cut it. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern%2F94369 Would it be useful for me to poke the PR?
