similar to: klibc.bkbits.net is up

This seem to be a good timing taking up the integration of klibc in the kernel again. Based one klibc-0.152 and klibc.bkbits.net/2.5-klibc I will take a shot of it. I will focus on getting the library compiled (should be pretty straighforward). Next two steps are: 2) Adding minimum applications to the kernel (if any) 3) Support applications outside the kernel I will put my work on bkbits.net

Well, as of right now, both Linus and Andrew have rejected klibc in the kernel based on "it doesn't add anything new" (Linus) and "lack of interest" (Andrew). It seems that there is little hope of getting it into the kernel any time soon, unless there is additional features, and/or people start actively asking for it. I would appreciate hearing suggestions. The

Hi, I've been messing around with the early userspace for the last couple days. What are the goals of early userspace? Is the end goal to use it as an initrd replacement or is it simply to do all the mounting (nfsroot, initrd, hard disk) that is currently done in init/do_mounts*? thanks mh -- Martin Hicks Wild Open Source Inc. mort@wildopensource.com 613-266-2296

Hi, Greg - I have a 2.5.70 BK repository, with klibc integrated, at: bk://klibc.bkbits.net/2.5-klibc This repo has the following features: * Completely up-to-date w.r.t. klibc itself. * Kbuild sort of happy, but still needs an eyeball from Kai to figure out why it always rebuilds everything in usr/. * Supports both IP autoconfig and NFS root from initramfs.

Hi hpa and others. With my ongoing work to prepare for potential integration of klibc in the kernel I wonder if there wold be any interest in using part of the kbuild infrastructure to build the vanilla klibc? The rationale is obvious: - common codebase for Kbuild files, so one only has to fix things in one place - I force klibc developers to create Kbuild files usable in the kernel - Much

Hi, Greg - The latest set of klibc work is all accessible from http://www.speakeasy.org/~bos Here's a brief description of each part. The patches are as independent as possible, and are in BitKeeper format. * ipconfig-2.5.69.patch removes ipconfig from the kernel, and prevents CONFIG_ROOT_NFS from working. * nfsroot-2.5.69.patch removes nfsroot from the kernel. *

Hi all, I'm a bit concerned about the following statement included in 2.6.0-test4: +For active users, you are better off using the klibc BitKeeper +repositories, at http://klibc.bkbits.net/ Since I refuse to use bk because I consider the anti-competition clause in the free bk license to (a) be abhorrent and (b) meaning that it's of at best questionable legality for me to use free BK,

If you only run released (rather than development) versions of rsync then you can skip this message. rsync's source tree has been converted from CVS to BitKeeper. This message contains brief instructions for people who want to track development or make contributions. I think it should take about 30-60 minutes to get started with BK. I hope you will agree that it is worthwhile. First

I just pushed out klibc-1.2.1; it actually has a working kinit. There are still pieces missing, but at least it works for ipconfig+nfsroot, which has been my test configuration. There is code to handle initrd already in kinit, but it hasn't been tested and so is almost certainly broken; I think the code to load a ramdisk from a floppy or other block device is not yet there. -hpa

kinit/nfsmount.c:mount_nfs_root() should use the bootpath specified by bootp/dhcp. If the "nfsroot" option is specified then it overrides the boot server bootpath and a message indicating the override is printed. --- klibc-0.194/kinit/nfsroot.c.orig 2005-01-05 04:13:47.043897880 -0700 +++ klibc-0.194/kinit/nfsroot.c 2005-01-05 04:13:09.316633296 -0700 @@ -66,34 +66,21 @@ const int

Hi all. I have pushed my earlier announced kbuild improvements patch to: bk://linux-sam.bkbits.net/2.5-klibc First cset is the earlier posted cset, whit a few small modifications. One important change is that the usr/Makefile now uses *.a files in initramfs-y assignment. I realised that the purpose was to express what kinit were using / referring. Second cset is a trivial cset that just move

Hi, Here are some new library functions for klibc. Some of them are required for udev, which currently has a klibc_fixups.c file that implements these functions. mh -- Martin Hicks Wild Open Source Inc. mort@wildopensource.com 613-266-2296 # This is a BitKeeper generated patch for the following project: # Project Name: The kernel C library # This patch format is intended

Last patch for now. This gets gen_init_cpio into a state where it can pick up a "kinit" binary from usr and stuff it into the cpio archive as /sbin/init. This is obviously a crock, but it suffices for testing until something sane is done about integrating klibc into the kernel tree. The patch also adds a bit of instrumentation to initramfs.c, to try to help flush out bug 740.

Peter, we found that nfs over udp will corrupt data under very extrem load, there is no way to fix it due to the way how UDP works. TCP will not have these problems. I also wonder why the package size is only 1k. Everyone who wishes a slow connection can pass the desired options via the kernel cmdline. Everyone else prefers probably the fast mount. The defaults should look more like that: ---

hi, i''ve submitted a small patch to xen-unstable that makes the ''/dev/xx'' -> devicenumber lookup stuff work on my machine.. basically i''m using os.stat instead of os.popen() hacks. this is my first bitkeeper checkin ever, so please verify i did this correctly. thanks, paul ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is

Mercurial(hg) Cheatsheet for Xen ================================ Written by Andrew Warfield, extended by Michael Fetterman and Ian Pratt June 29, 2005, extended by Grzegorz Milos 04 July 2005. Overview -------- The Xen project has moved from BitKeeper to Mercurial for source control. This note aims to provide a quick guide to getting up and running with the new tools as quickly as possible,

I''ve just finished Xeno-HOWTO which contains a detailed list of instructions on how to setting up Xen and XenoLinux, from downloading Bitkeeper, compilation of Xen, XenoLinux, tools to configuration, start and stop of new domains. A complete version has just been pushed in xeno.bk and xeno-1.1.bk in our Laboratory. A partital version is already available in

Hi all, I have pushed out klibc-1.5, as well as an integrated klibc against 2.6.21-rc2. Have fun :) -hpa
