Ok but who got the job now? Are you alone on this? Does the project is
dying? :(
Nobody's got the job now.
I don't know what to do now. Should pull request #93 or something
like that be accepted to update src-netbsd or it is bad to have a
dependency here from librumpnet_net to librumpdev. I am not sure at all.
Yes, it's bad, at least per how I defined rump kernels. Someone needs
to fix NetBSD (or redefine "non-broken").
Reading at your book (2.1.2 Base, Orthogonal Factions, Drivers) and
src/sys/rump/README.dirs, I understand that librumpnet_net
(src/sys/rump/net/lib/libnet) is a component. Being such an object, it
can depend on whatever faction or component it wants, right?
Do you say it's bad because such dependency should and can be avoided
for such a simple component?
You're right, I somehow managed to misread it as just rumpnet. 'twas a
long long day yesterday (but fun).
(though, could go into the discussion on whether networking always in
practice requiring devices is sensible. but, the faction division is
... difficult)
Does someone (do you) on NetBSD side care for rumpkernel?
I am not able to do something about NetBSD. I know nobody in there and I
have too much to learn before being able to.
I'm no longer affiliated with NetBSD, can't speak for others.
To be clear: I don't know
what is loopattach and loopinit and why the other replaced the one,
right now.
If old functionality can be implemented in new terms with no immediately
obvious regressions, the same way other code was updated, one option is
to just roll with it. Stuff changes, and with any luck things break in
obvious ways such as a build failure.
Also, can old or irrelevant issues and PR be closed with a clear reason,
please, if you have the time to do this?
Just so we have a clean place.
Should we argument each one to help you doing that? As you can see, I want to
help you, I just don't know how.
Also, can you either comment, accept or reject recent issues and PR? Same argument.
No, I can't. But you (or someone else) can. There's no manual/howto
for it, but anyone looking for one or desiring handholding is probably
the wrong person for the job anyway.
