There hasn't been a ctm update in a couple weeks, but I haven't seen any commit messages either, so the ctm deltas available on freefall in pub/CTM/smp-cur should still represent the latest n'greatest. I built my own kernel from those sources, and it's running for me. The thing for folks to beware of is that the smp stuff doesn't reside as part of the main cvs tree, it has it's own completely separate cvs archive. In order to maintain it, you have to change your CVSROOT variable when using cvs (back and forth from pointing at /home/ncvs for the main tree, and wherever you unpack the smp cvs archive for smp). You also have to be able the mv your sys directory out of the way for building the kernel, then putting things back the way they should be before you use cvs to update your tree (else you'll trash your smp sources). I can't wait for the smp stuff to be integrated into the main tree, because doing things this way, I'm certain to bobble it, sooner or later. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
