If you don't do development, you can skip this mail. The git mirror of the NetBSD sources relevant for rump kernels until very recently contained the CVS metadata files. The original intent was to make it easy to do minor updates from the upstream repo for testing things. However, the downside is that those CVS files are ~30MB in size, and every time the timestamp is incremented and the mirror updated, all of those files change. Needless to say, that was causing rumpkernel-netbsd-src to grow unnecessarily fast, making "git clone" slower and slower.
So, the CVS files are no longer there. If you want them for development, you can always use "./buildrump.sh checkoutcvs". We can now easily bump the timestamp every time there's a feature reason instead of worrying about the repo growing too much. yay! I'm also considering creating a new mirror repo without any of the CVS metadata baggage, but that should not have a user-visible impact either (apart from "git clone" transferring half as much data as it used to). Since everything is handled by buildrump.sh, there should be close to zero user-visible impact from this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start Your Social Network Today - Download eXo Platform Build your Enterprise Intranet with eXo Platform Software Java Based Open Source Intranet - Social, Extensible, Cloud Ready Get Started Now And Turn Your Intranet Into A Collaboration Platform http://p.sf.net/sfu/ExoPlatform _______________________________________________ rumpkernel-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rumpkernel-users
