Due to popular demand, I have created a www page on freebsd.org. The URL is: http://www.freebsd.org/~terry/ Here is what's there now: NFS client and server locking NFS lease code left out of the kernel (patches for real bugs) Line discipline changes A validation suite for testing for kernel memory leaks [*] Here's what will be there as soon as I can clean it up (running for 6 months to 2.5 years on my personal machines): The nameifree changes The namei EXCLUDE flag: eliminating redundant code FSFRAME: a framework for user space FS developement PFS: a proxy FS for use in FSFRAME UNIONFS: patches to make it work UMAPFS: patches to make it work Here's newly developed stuff: RAIDFrame: a software RAID on FreeBSD DEVFS Slice code: how one fdisk can handle all partitioning Here's stuff I need to clear with Whistle: LDAP on FreeBSD (patches; assumes you have the fixed pthreads) [*] If you are running the soft updates patches, you should download this now! In addition, I will be putting up about 20,000 more lines of changes as soon as I can classify them and clean them up into little pieces that can't be applied simultaneously, like the committers want. Just like the good old dsays of 386BSD before I wrote the patchkit... All of this code assumes you patch against -current. Making the patches work together is left as an exercise for the committers (I could do this, but only if you were willing to commit everything at once).
