first, the status of linuxthreads ... when i first introduced the latest version of linuxthreads, the upstream status was fully maintained and no plans for this to end ... nptl wasnt even being considered. the idea was that the version of linuxthreads we had in our tree was pretty outdated and lacked fixes and features, so getting up to latest version was a good idea. all of these factors have changed significantly, so i'd like to simply cut the charades and do: - punt linuxthreads - rename linuxthreads.old back to just linuxthreads any qualms ? anyone see any value in getting linuxthreads more properly working ? only thing i can think of here that would be critical is newer ports and ports with opposite stack direction (like hppa) ... personally, i'd like to see linuxthreads go into maintenance only so we can all focus on NPTL ... but i'm a purely "looking forward" guy ...
the plan for NPTL is to get the extraneous ports and patchsets (like arm and sh) floating around merged into the uClibc-nptl branch. then we need to get some outstanding issues resolved (ive seen replies to sjhill's commits about problems but no replies from him). then we can merge to trunk and try for 0.9.30. i see sjhill heading up most of this ... what do you think steven ? care to brain dump NPTL status/your thoughts in general/etc... ? -mike
