What ? Someone does want to test it after all ? Sorry.. I am so buried in machine builds right now I don't have any time at all for doing much with this. I know Nate is real busy too. Since the only thing that sys/Makefile currently does is to go down into libkern and build libkern for us I don't see a problem with you committing at least that part of it. I am always leary of changes to sys/i386/conf area, and to the .mk files as it is easy to perturb builds when this stuff is changed. > Well, Great :-) it works for me, supports NFS & seperate obj tree etc, > (+ cd-rom, last time i tried, some while ago), & walks on water ;-) I took a quick look at it, most of it is okay, there are some things that I think need some more work, and some things I need to take a much closer look at before I can say much about it. > It's all lying in: freefall:~jhs & is readable, a complete tree of diffs, > (admittedly there's a few extra diffs there for other unassociated > generic improvements (all my strictly weird personal diffs not fit for > general consumption are in another tree, not on freefall)) > the main stuff you'll want is sys/Makefile*, sys/i386/conf/*.diff, > & maybe src/share/mk/<one or two>.diffs > > I also left a .tgz file in ~jhs & in ~incoming, though I can't find my > copy of the announcement to quote exact names, & all lines are busy on my > IP site (as usual) as I type this. > > Rod, Nate, & Piero may find this stuff particularly interesting > (Rod & Piero were interested before, Nate has/had a big NFS linked net) PLEASE, some other folks out there grab this stuff and play with it. I think this is very much headed in the right direction but it needs to be pounded on before it goes in the tree. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
