Looking at the latest CVS tree on sourceforge and the submitted patches, I see a big difference. The patches have a separate dump_blockdev.c and the CVS code goes more directly to the disk. Also, the CVS code seems to have cleaned up the saving of state. So which is the "latest" code and what is the future direction? I have some cleanup's to LKCD interface, which version would be better to patch against? |

We'll be checking in the latest code ASAP. I had planned to do it last night but I was busy testing the 2.5.48 changes. I sent off an E-mail already which kind of outlines how we'd like to put the code into the trees for now: 1) All the drivers/dump and include/{linux,asm*}/dump.h files will be in the tree for CVS modification; 2) The patches will be in a "patches" directory, and can be updated and modified (and tagged with a linux kernel tree revision number) 3) All other lkcdutils changes will go into the tree as needed. |>So which is the "latest" code and what is the future direction? The web site is the current location of the source -- again, this is going to change shortly so that CVS is where you get the code. |>I have some cleanup's to LKCD interface, which version would be better |>to patch against? Against your stuff, actually. We've been reviewing it/testing it and haven't seen any problems with the update from 2.5.44 to 2.5.48. Now it's just a matter of breaking down the files into their components and putting it into CVS. Speaking of CVS ... Did you/Randy need access to the tree, and if so, do you have SourceForge login account names? Thanks, --Matt |> -- |
