Hi, I've updated repo.rumpkernel.org/src-netbsd to NetBSD upstream. There's a twist in this update. We no longer have any local patches in src-netbsd for "userspace", e.g. libc / libpthread (that was already always true for the kernel sources). The practical implication for you is that you can now use any vintage of NetBSD sources for rumprun without any patch merging.
The practical implication for us is that we can even more easily add automated testing for rumprun NetBSD HEAD ... or at least Justin can -- his buildbot empire runs 500 test configurations anyway, he probably won't mind a few more? For you, the practical implication of our practical implication is that we'll notice any breakage with upstream sources almost instantly, and therefore be able to keep things working better. The git mirror repo.rumpkernel.org/src-netbsd will stick around, partially because cloning/updating with git is fast and partially because git is a universal tool these days. The git mirror branches called "foo-clean" and "foo" (e.g. s/foo/user/) will continue to exist, as they're essentially free to maintain. However, I really hope we'll never again be in a situation where diffs between foo-clean and foo are non-zero. I updated and tested everything providing rumprun, except rumprun-xen, which I only build-tested. The userspace side for ARM might not work out-of-the-box yet, but we'll cross that hurdle when rumprun for ARM stabilizes. enjoy, antti ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
