Now, I'm thinking to move uml_utilities to a CVS repository, either the SourceForge one or the UML's own one.
And give to many write-access to it (for public read access we'll see, there are security problems with pserver. Having a rsyncable CVS repos like for the kernel should be ok - the repos. will be very little anyway). There are too much little things to fix to have a central maintainer, IMHO. And nobody volunteered, sadly, and I can't either. I'm only 19 years old and little Unix programming experience (yes, I'm the same one who works on UML, I've probably a more detailed understanding of the kernel than of the Unix userspace), so I have a hard time understanding what exactly is going on in uml_switch (a SLIP connection uses a virtual pty? Wow! It makes sense since it's called "SLIP", so it must use a tty anyway... still I discovered it when reading the uml_net local DoS fix from Steve). So I can only read the changelogs and the patches and check if they have "political" problems (like breaking APIs, being too big and possibly destabilizing code). And this when I have time. -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
