Hello,
Two questions:
I know that "_Note: Unless you are a developer integrating rump
kernels
into your project, there should be no reason to be here._", but..
https://github.com/rumpkernel/src-netbsd/tree/kernel-src has not being
updated for 2 years but it used to be regularly. Why (it ain't
anymore)?
Nobody has done and contributed the work; search the archives.
I saw that you are the only contributor on src-netbsd. I am not sure
about the complete process in "updating" src-netbsd even though it is
described in checkout.sh. I understand that the goal is to avoid local
patches but maybe it is not always possible. Right? I am not confident
enough with rumpkernel nor netbsd to try that right now. Maybe in the
future. I already looked (quickly) at the archive.
I looked at build.sh and I saw rump and rumptest targets. Actually,
["${1}" != "rumptest" ] && bomb 'build.sh rump not yet functional. '
What is the goal here (rump target)?
It's the "precursor" of buildrump.sh. When I finally got around to
buildrump.sh, I noticed there's no reason for it to live in
NetBSD/build.sh. And when stuff doesn't need to be in the NetBSD tree,
it's better being out of the NetBSD tree, so as to make it easier to
change. So, the goal there is to be another lesson on how stupid it is
to add code which in its current form doesn't do anything measurably
useful ... (at least in this case it isn't that many lines for someone
to remove)
Thank you for you answers.
