So, it's time to think about sending you guys the code. Right now, we're going through and cleaning things up a little, doing the legal process and whatnot, but what we've got should be in your hands in the near future. What I want to talk about is what form you guys want it in.
We originally started working off of Cyril's tree at http://svn.genunix.org/repos/polaris/branches/boot as checked out on March 10th. From there, we have changes that amount to a 40,000 line patch that is 1MB in size. What my question is, when the time comes, how would you like it? The three best options: 1) A patch against that same tree. This is quick and trivial to do and will take pretty much no effort. From there, it's just a matter of merging it in and syncing it back into the trunk. It's not against the latest OpenSolaris bits, but merging them together shouldn't be too bad... and that's something the Polaris project should have someone responsible for going forward. This at least has the advantage that we have it in subversion from the get go. 2) A tarball of our whole tree as we have it right now. That also isn't against the latest OpenSolaris builds, and someone will have to do the merging work. 3) A patch against a more recent OpenSolaris tarball. This would be a good starting point for a fresh tree, but you'll all have to wait a bit longer while I do the merge. Did I mention I like options 1 and 2 better? :) But yeah, bringing back my point in option 1 is that someone should keep the working Polaris tree up to date with the latest OpenSolaris builds as they become available. There's also the question of if there's somewhere you guys would prefer to host it other than http://svn.genunix.org/ ... we're flexible.
