BTW, I just updated the majordomo 'info' file for this list: ========= FREEBSD-SMP Tech discussion list for those involved in implementing SMP support under FreeBSD. Not for the casual reader, this is only likely to be of use to the developers. Note that this list gets some rather long commit messages! The last few were over 40K each. To get the code, you need a supfile entry something like this: src-sys release=smp host=sup.FreeBSD.org hostbase=/home base=/home/smp \ prefix=/home/smp delete old use-rel-suffix (I dont think the line can be broken with a backslash, make sure it's all one long line in your supfile) This will fetch the CVS repository files into the /home/smp directory on your machine. Note that sup is very inefficient on this repository as it fetches the entire file whenever the file changes in any way. Alternatively, you can fetch the deltas via CTM from ftp://freefall.freebsd.org:/pub/CTM/smp-cur/* CTM is far more efficient with network traffic and only sends CHANGES between file revisions, not the entire file like sup. The other alternatives are to get cvsup, it works just like sup, but has CTM's efficiency. see ftp://freefall.freebsd.org/pub/CVSup/* Lastly, if you have an account with commit access on freefall, you can set your CVSROOT to /home/smp. Like the main repository, you can access it remotely. Once you set up rsh or ssh to your freefall account, you can (on your local machine) set your CVSROOT to yourname@freefall.freebsd.org:/home/smp and simply "cvs checkout -P sys". If you don't know how to drive sup/ctm/cvsup and can't figure it out from the manuals, you are probably looking at the wrong list.. As always, remember this is ALPHA-grade software. Expect it to crash and burn every so often. It doesn't yet work on all MPSPEC compliant hardware. It's only "known" to work on older ASUS PCI/E P54NP4 dual-pentium motherboard. Others have reported success on other hardware, but nobody has a complete list. Other than that, Welcome aboard! ========= Cheers, -Peter
