[uml-devel] User Mode Linux

Hello Jeff, Richard and the UML Team.

Me and Mattia are maintainers for UML in the Debian Distribution.

Recently, during a refresh of the package, we realized that the User Mode Linux
website, which hosts useful documentation, doesn't seem to have been updated in
years.

The documentation which still is active and useful[1] is marked as "old" on the
website.
The wiki [2] on the other hand, points to a link with no content at all.

Could you please share on what the roadmap and future plans for UML are?
And for the documentation on the old site, do you have it in a Source Markup
Language? What we've used now is a dump of the website from [1]

[1] http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/
[2] http://uml.harlowhill.com/

I have some patches which bring network performance to > 3gbit for a single core virtual router/firewall/net device, need to find time to get them up to date and resubmit.
Some disk is improvements too.

Well, I maintain the UML kernel component. That meas I keep it running, fix regressions
and try to answer questions from other developers.
Since I do this in my spare time there is not much time left for adding new features.

So, my roadmap is "keep it alive" :-)

I don't have such a dump. But I agree that we need to rework the website.
It is very, very old.
Maybe it is worth adding a UML section to http://kernelnewbies.org/?

Thanks,

Okay! Thanks for the update. I had the same impression and am glad to read that
you will continue to maintain it.

IN my opinion, the kernel wiki may be a better option for long term maintenance.
https://wiki.kernel.org/

The main page for wiki points no login link. But once you get into one of the
sub wikis, you can see the login link.
Take this link for example: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php?title=Specia
l:UserLogin&returnto=Main+Page

Maybe you could ask the kernel infra team to create a sub-wiki house for uml ?
And then we can all help migrate the content ?


For Debian, we'll keep the documentation package, and update when UML site finds
a new home.

Just sent a request to get a wiki instance. :-)
