Yes, this is correct. Doing hardware stuff consumes a lot of
my time :(

 His last round of changes from Mac OS X sorted out my panics quite
 nicely.

Good to hear. I've selected most critical bugfixes and there is
still big diffs to merge.

 It sounds like the message is I'd like to help with smbfs, but don't
 have time right now, and it'd make a whole lot more sense for someone
 closer to the code to take a look.

Obviously, I'll do the job at some moment. If someone can do it
before - feel free to do this. This may even include import of userland
part in the /contrib hierarchy.

Thanks for the reply.  So long as I know not to hold my breath. :-)

KSE settling in (smbfs broken)

2001-10-05 Thread Sheldon Hearn


Hi Julian,

I didn't realize that smbfs was a KSE casualty, but it's nice that you
made this obvious with the following in sys/modules/Makefile:

#removed while KSE settles in:
#   smbfs \

So at least it didn't take me long to figure out what was going on.

My question is what sort of timeframe this settling in is likely to
involve?

I would have thought that a disconnected module would rot, but your
settling in comment suggests that you have plans to reconnect it
yourself?

Or is this another way of saying dead unless someone else fixes for
KSE?

I copied the -current list because I doubt I'm the only one who's
wondering how this is all going to work.

Basically, I think a lot of us are wondering whether we can sit back and
wait for you to fix the stuff that stopped working after the KSE import,
or whether you're sitting back and waiting for us to do it. :-)

Ciao,
Sheldon.
