I think the vimage code is very exciting and useful, in particular because it enables using multiple IP addresses and IPv6 in jails. In fact that's long overdue. Pointing people to the p4 branch is not very helpful, I think. There seems to be lots of interest, but p4 is a closed user group. Unfortunately the public cvsup server that mirrored the p4 repository doesn't exist anymore. How about putting a tarball of the current code (against HEAD) online on some webserver? So many more people would be able to test it, and I bet many are eager to do so. If feedback is good and nothing breaks horribly, you will certainly see less objections against committing it. PJD did the same with ZFS, i.e. providing tarballs for public consumption, and when the feedback was good enough, it finally hit the tree. I'm sure vimage will be a huge success as well. Just my 2 cents. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
