But is it already known when 0.2 will hit the net? If that is not likely to happen within a few months then this sounds a good idea to me. I just hope that this interim release won't mean another complete installation. Therefore I would suggest (if it's possible) to also put it in somekind of patchkit form. Would that be possible? #if you have ported a driver to 386bsd or a package to 386bsd #that you think should be part of the release, then #please mail me (julian@ref.tfs.com) with a brief description #of what you have. #I will contact you when I am ready to integrate your module. #--- module format guidelines--- #Non kernel modules should be in a subdirectory as follows: #<name>/Makefile #<name/<name-version> #<name/<name-version>/[original source tree] #The top makefile should have build, install, clean and uninstall #options. I expect that the build and clean options will probably #just call the makefile in the original source tree with the appropriate #arguments. #The tree should be capable of compiling independent of where it is put. #Kernel modules: #If your module replaces another module, then please #set it up so the original module may still be compiled in #depending on a configuration file setting. #please include MAKEDEV entries. #I may have to move devices around a bit it we have clashes. #as I don't have every device I will probably ask you to take back #a built copy of the kernel to test when I have integrated #all the drivers, so you can test your driver. #------------------------------------------ #Others: if you think of something that needs to be done #on a new release do mail me #(e.g. probably a bigger more complete disktab file) #+----------------------------------+ ______ _ __ #| __--_|\ Julian Elischer | \ U \/ / On assignment #| / \ julian@tfs.com +------>x USA \ in a very strange #| ( OZ ) 2118 Milvia st.
