Here, Roland clearly states that gnumach-1-branch is only for bugfixes. That was 3 years ago, when OSKit was all the rage. gnumach-1-branch is far far simpler to maintain, as has been shown by the continues efforts to keep it working as it should including bug fixes, new drivers, and what not. I don't even think that HEAD actually works at all right now, and I really don't care. The benefits of having everything in one tree outweigh the benefits of spliting it up just cause there are more drivers in OSKit that nobody actually uses. Most NIC's are now supported by GNU Mach 1.x + my NIC patch. This and the SCSI drivers are really the only drivers that we even remotley support. The change to OSKit doesn't add anything, other than a headache. So there is no reason not to revert the `bug fixes only' rule for gnumach-1-branch, if there is a tier one who checks patches. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
