[mpls-linux-devel] Reminder...

[James R. L. <jl...@mi...>]

Hey all,

Just a reminder that as you start working though issues with the
code I will do my best to answer questions.

As far as the RSPV-TE implementation:
The implementation was given to me by a developer
who wrote it from scratch but got burned out on it
cause no-one was willing to help him (sounds familiar eh?).
I was able to get it to compile and started the process of
getting it integrated into quagga with MPLS support.

As for code quality:
Remember, this code was started in '99 and I was the only person who
consistently worked on the code (there was one other person rcasellas who
added comments, and cleaned up some kernel code).  It was all
done in my free time, all the while each new batch of undergraduates
would suck away my time saying "I'm learning MPLS and I want to help".
After helping well over 100 undergraduates learn how to compile a kernel
and understand MPLS, 2 people got masters degrees from me helping them
and 1 person used it as an entrance project for a PhD.  From all that work 
I got zero lines of code contributed from others.

You guys are the first people other then me to work on this code.
If there is any questions I can I answer, just let me know.  I
do my best to keep up on email when I'm not working one of my two jobs
or raising my two girls.
