We need an accepted technical solution for regenerating them and organizing the output in our manual. This shouldn't be hard. We got wrapped around the axle discussing could we automatically trigger regeneration on updates to newlib. When would it happen? I'm prone to think that newlib's documentation changes so infrequently, that picking it up sporadically and as part of going slushy before branching is probably sufficient. Technically, the waf could have a maintainer mode where is passed a source directory for newlib and triggers regeneration if a source file has changed. When maintainer mode is run is the question. But we need the maintainer mode settled first. > >> > >> > >> > 2. #3850 Modular Network Stacks : > >> > > >> This project is currently being worked on by a developer. @Vijay Kumar > >> Banerjee do you think there is anything that a student might be able > >> to contribute toward this effort under a GSoC Project? > > > > > > +1 > Answering myself. This project has a lot of pieces and I'm sure Vijay could use help on the drivers that we know can be tested on simulators and cheap hardware. I think Vijay would have to have a repo and lwip building at least to be able to leverage help on the list of drivers we have collected. I'd want to be sure that enough were testable on a simulator to be a good project. Getting things to compile isn't enough for GSoC. But I think we might have 3-4 NICs identified for LWIP with BSPs that run on Qemu. --joel > >> > >> > >> > What would be a good start for these projects? > >> > > >> > _______________________________________________ > >> > devel mailing list > >> > devel@rtems.org > >> > http://lists.rtems.org/mailman/listinfo/devel >
