| Hi guys, | | Right now I can build a customized NetBSD kernel + userland from sources. | The document is pretty clear and I got it by following those steps. | However, in terms | of the working environments, I have 3 specific questions to ask. | 1. I noticed that netbsd community use CVS for version control, I am | familiar with git, | and can learn CVS. Also I noticed that there are actually git repo at | github which hosts | the netbsd source code, and seems there is an automatic transfer when | one pushes to | CVS repo. I am wondering what's the prefer way to add code, CVS, | git(send pull request | to github) or patch. Whatever you like; it is fine to use git on github; makes things easier. CVS is really easy; it has few commands compared to git. | 2. How do you work in netbsd, do you use GUI (like xwindow, or gnome)? | If so, which | do you recommend? I installed Xwindows several times, but seems have | some problems. It depends. Right now I am typing on OS/X using Xquartz connected to a NetBSD box via ssh a few miles away. I run X on NetBSD too, but my NetBSD laptop is old and heavy and runs hot :-) | 3. What tools do you use to view kernel code? do you use IDE or just | vim(emacs)? I use nvi but also http://nxr.netbsd.org | Actually, it is hard to look the code, jump to the declaration or | usages because netbsd | has a huge code base. I am looking for a way to work efficiently with | netbsd, your | best practices would be helpful. nxr works well to find things. christos
