The situation really depends on the state of it and how much impact it will have on other architectures. If (for example) it mainly requires adding new drivers and fixing portability problems in common code then it's not likely to be a problem to get it into the tree. If it's going to cause breakage on a daily basis then it would have to go into ether a branch (ouch!) until it stabilized or worked on in a seperate tree. It all depends. Also, another consideration is whether the code has enough momentum and people interested in it to keep it alive. If it's going to sit in the tree and rot because nobody wants to do anything with it, then it's pointless going into the tree to start with. (I'm not suggesting that this is the case, but it certainly doesn't hurt to demonstrate that it's got momentum and people involved.) Having it in the main tree for development (without a branch) is probably the optimum way of keeping everyone up to date and in sync. However, if it's going to inferfere with things (for example, the disk labelling and partitioning support) in a big way then we'll have to think of something else. > Thanks, > > <:) Lyndon Griffin > http://www.bsd4us.org > > On Sat, 5 Feb 2000, David O'Brien wrote: > > > On Sat, Feb 05, 2000 at 07:17:31PM -0500, Lyndon Griffin wrote: > > > Can somebody offer a little help in setting up a CVS server?
