I dont know that it's actually ready to do that, is it? Last I heard, it was a large patch relative to an older -current, and needs a fair bit of work to bring it up to date, as well it needed the NFS merge. As far as I remember, that's what the lite2 scratch tree was for, to let Doug and Jeff merge their two parts together so that it can be integrated into -current without leaving the tree without NFS for a week or so. But still, I'm in favour of getting into the main tree asap once it kinda works. We have to give the public a fair bit of warning that we're going to do this I think. > same for smp btw. Yeah, the SMP stuff is largely #ifdef, so it's nowhere as big a deal as lite2. The smp stuff is on the fringe of the kernel, the lite2 code goes to the heart of it. > Poul-Henning Cheers, -Peter
