Hi all, Is there significant effort involved with merging the virtio code from a 9 or 10 branch into an 8 branch? Special considerations? -- Take care Rick Miller

Special considerations?Unless you're hoping for an 8.5 release, which is unlikely, I'd expect not. The path of least resistance is to upgrade.

I'm most interested in the level of effort to do so internally if we were so inclined. Would it be a simple merge of the code from any 9 or 10 branch into a private, internal 8 branch or is it a more complicated process requiring a multitude of considerations? -- Take care Rick Miller

Special considerations? How about using ports/emulators/virtio-kmod? Sincerely, -- Hajimu UMEMOTO ume at mahoroba.org ume@{,jp.}FreeBSD.org http://www.mahoroba.org/~ume/
