Re: Inbox driver

2012-09-25 Thread Venkat Duvvuru
Thanks for the reply. Emulex's OCE driver is present in Freebsd-8.3
http://svn.freebsd.org/base/release/8.3.0/sys/dev/ but it is not present in
http://svn.freebsd.org/base/release/9.0.0/sys/dev/, is there a way to get
this driver into 9.0.0 branch? And the same driver is present in 9.1-RC1 so
can I assume that it is going to be part of 9.1-RELEASE?

Please clarify.

 I don't know what you mean about inbox, but basically you're
 right. It's a bit more complicated, though, because the svn repository
 has several branches -- and a feature introduced to 10.x, for example,
 may or not show up in 9.x. If a feature is introduced into HEAD, you can
 be pretty sure it will make it into some release eventually.

 Does that help? I tried to keep it brief...
