I'm open to ideas on this front. The snapshot that was released today is available in diff format and, as soon as my release build completes, as a fully installable release. We could certainly provide a full src tree tar ball too if you think it would be useful. > It appears that more and more folks are now running CAM (namely for > support of newer devices like the AIC-7895 and overall SCSI stability). > I would think it would be wise to check the source into the repository > (on a branch of -current).

We would likely still perform all of our development in our local Perforce repository and only perform branch merges and updates in the CVS repository on the interval of the current snapshots. I'm as antsy as the next guy for getting CAM into the main tree, but I only want to do so once we have the basic functionality in place and aren't changing the code on a daily basis. This should happen before 3.0 and when the appropriate time does come, we will first place the code on a branch, shake it out, then pull it into current. > I'll be running CAM+CCD+Softupdates... hopefully it won't be that > interesting. Softupdates on a reasonably fast disk under CAM seems to wedge machines here. There have been other reports of CCD having similar effects. > Regards, Kurt -- Justin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
