The syncer project idea is being removed because the current idea
fails to reflect the high level of complexity and interdependence
with other subsystems, and the specific strategy identified in the
idea is not the consensus view on the way forward. We will hold a
buffer cache strategy session at the devsummit to try and iron out
a plan forward, and can re-add specific items generated by that
group to the ideas list once agreement is reached on direction.
At this point, any actual coding would be highly premature.
be questionable, and this particular project idea seems not to lead to
good SoC proposals (after a year or two of efforts), so leave it where
students can find it, but don't specifically encourage proposals for the
idea.
Requested by: jeff
and 'soc2007' to reflect ideas still on the list from last year, but that
had owners who made significant headway. Now we can tag new projects with
'soc' if we think they are particularly student-friendly.
- FireWire is locked now.
- Doug Rabson is working on a kernel level lockd, sponsored by Isilon.
The code looks promising, as such remove the lockd entries until we
can identify if there needs to be a replacement / some help or not.
- ext2fs with gjournal would be incompatible with Linux, this is not
desired. Scratch the gjournal part and reword to look out for
improvements we could obtain from NetBSD.
- iSCSI is in FreeBSD now.
- Comment out the sensors framework entry until we have a definitive
decission regarding the architecture we want to have for FreeBSD.
Suggested/noticed by: rwatson
- textdump in 8-current in the automatic crash reporting entry
- FEATURE macro in 8-current for the kernel features entry
- bsdtar mtree extensions for the non-root release building entry[1]
Discussed with: kientzle
make it impractical to use it with our RAID drivers. He wants to come up
with a description how "our" raid management framework should look like,
as time permits.
Discussed with: scottl
- remove SoC marker from items which are not taken in the current SoC
- remove the "suitable" from the SoC markup and replace it with being
a part of
- update TMPFS (some people are working on it), pluggable disk schedulers
(additional info) and umem (available in ports)
1) Collect the pkg-message output in dependencies and display it after the
build finish
2) Parallelization of the Ports Collection (this one is suitable as SoC
project)
3) UPDATING parser, kind of a junior task
4) portupgrade in base thing
Discussed with: cperciva and others
Also change technical contact for COMPAT_43TTY task to Ed Maste, who's actively
working on it.
