To avoid name collisions, private tags should 10# have names which begin with the developer's NetBSD login name 11# followed by a - or _ character (e.g., thorpej_scsipi, 12# thorpej-signal) 13# 14# Any branch or version tag not listed here should be assumed to be 15# private to the developer who created it. It is inappropriate for 16# anyone other than that developer to commit, move tags, or otherwise 17# modify the contents of the branch. 18# 19# Please update this file when a new branch is ready for consumption 20# by folks other than the maintainer, or when the use or status of an 21# existing branch changes significantly. 22# 23# Format: 24# Branch: name of branch 25# Description: Purpose and intention of the branch 26# Status: Active/Terminated/Dormant 27# Start Date: date first instantiated 28# End Date: date it was Terminated/made_Dormant, if any 29# Base Tag: netbsd-1-5-base, etc. 30# Maintainer: Somebody to blame. 31# Scope: Portion of the tree covered. 32# Notes: Various other info, perhaps explanation of special tags, 33# who-may-commit policies, etc. 34# 35# There are four sections to this file: 36# Release branches 37# Individual developers' branches (Active/Dormant) 38# Individual developers' branches (Terminated), and 39# other 40# 41# Entries within each section should be alphabetized. 42# 43 44 45# Release branches: 46 47Branch: comdex-fall-1999 48Description: Special release branch for pre-1.5 release at 49 Fall 1999 COMDEX. 50Status: Terminated 51Start Date: 52End Date: 53Base Tag: comdex-fall-1999-base 54Maintainer: ? 55Scope: Entire tree. 56Notes: 57 58Branch: netbsd-0-9 59Description: The NetBSD 0.9 release branch 60Status: Terminated 61Start Date: 62End Date: 63Base Tag: netbsd-0-9-base 64Maintainer: Release Engineering <releng@NetBSD.org> 65Scope: Entire tree. 66Notes: Subsidiary tags of: netbsd-0-9-ALPHA, netbsd-0-9-ALPHA2, 67 netbsd-0-9-BETA, netbsd-0-9-RELEASE. 68 Commits restricted to release engineering. 69 70Branch: netbsd-1-0 71Description: The NetBSD 1.0 release branch 72Status: Terminated 73Start Date: 74End Date: 75Base Tag: netbsd-1-0-base 76Maintainer: Release Engineering <releng@NetBSD.org> 77Scope: Entire tree. 78Notes: 79 Commits restricted to release engineering. 80 81Branch: netbsd-1-1 82Description: The NetBSD 1.1 release branch 83Status: Terminated 84Start Date: 85End Date: 86Base Tag: netbsd-1-1-base 87Maintainer: Release Engineering <releng@NetBSD.org> 88Scope: Entire tree. 89Notes: 90 Commits restricted to release engineering. 91 92Branch: netbsd-1-2 93Description: The NetBSD 1.2 release branch 94Status: Terminated 95Start Date: 96End Date: 97Base Tag: netbsd-1-2-base 98Maintainer: Release Engineering <releng@NetBSD.org> 99Scope: Entire tree. 100Notes: 101 Commits restricted to release engineering. 102 103Branch: netbsd-1-3 104Description: The NetBSD 1.3 release branch 105Status: Terminated 106Start Date: 107End Date: 108Base Tag: netbsd-1-3-base 109Maintainer: Release Engineering <releng@NetBSD.org> 110Scope: Entire tree. 111Notes: 112 Commits restricted to release engineering. 113 114Branch: netbsd-1-4 115Description: The NetBSD 1.4 release branch 116Status: Terminated 117Start Date: 1 Apr 2000 118End Date: 119Base Tag: netbsd-1-4-base 120Maintainer: 1.4 Release Engineering <releng-1-4@NetBSD.org> 121Scope: Entire tree. 122Notes: 123 Commits restricted to release engineering. 124 125Branch: netbsd-1-5 126Description: The NetBSD 1.5 release branch 127Status: Terminated 128Start Date: 20 Jun 2000 129End Date: 26 Jan 2005 130Base Tag: netbsd-1-5-base 131Maintainer: 1.5 Release Engineering <releng-1-5@NetBSD.org> 132Scope: Entire tree. 133Notes: 134 Commits restricted to release engineering. 135 136Branch: netbsd-1-6 137Description: The NetBSD 1.6 release branch 138Status: Terminated 139Start Date: 22 May 2002 140End Date: 141Base Tag: netbsd-1-6-base 142Maintainer: 1.6 Release Engineering <releng-1-6@NetBSD.org> 143Scope: Entire tree. 144Notes: 145 Commits restricted to Release Engineering. 146 147Branch: netbsd-2 148Description: The NetBSD 2 release branch 149Status: Active 150Start Date: 23 Dec 2004 151End Date: 152Base Tag: netbsd-2-base 153Maintainer: 2 Release Engineering <releng-2@NetBSD.org> 154Scope: Entire tree.

In terms of UBC, the primary cache for 856 file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate 857 in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native 858 pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is 859 a mapping going on between the VM system and the 860 underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner 861 to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes. 862 Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset 863 with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big 864 deal. 865 866 Any other wrstuden-devbsize tag may (and should) go away. 867 868Branch: yamt-km, yamt-km-doc 869Description: simplify/improve kernel memory management and bootstrap 870Status: Terminated; merged to -current 871Start Date: Tue Jan 25 2005 872End Date: Fri Apr 1 2005 873Base Tag: yamt-km-base{,2,3,4}, yamt-km-doc-base 874Maintainer: YAMAMOTO Takashi <yamt@NetBSD.org> 875Scope: yamt-km: src/sys 876 yamt-km-doc: src/share/man/man9/uvm.9 877Notes: http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2004/12/25/0005.html 878 879 the followings are per-port status. 880 (account names mean "tested by".) 881 882 works enough to go to multiuser: 883 alpha, i386, xen (yamt@) 884 pc532 (simonb@) 885 alpha, i386, mac68k, macppc, pmax, shark, 886 sparc, sparc64, sun3, x68k (chs@) 887 cobalt, dreamcast, hp300, news68k, newsmips, 888 sun3x (tsutsui@) 889 amiga (mhitch@) 890 cats, hp700 (skrll@) 891 xen (bouyer@) 892 893 known to have the same problem as trunk: 894 vax (chs@, stuck while running kvm_mkdb) 895 896 known to have a problem: 897 luna68k (and, if any, other m68k ports which use TTR) 898 needs to be revisited. 899 -> for luna68k, although not tested, 900 Sysmap has been moved to avoid kva conflict with 901 I/O ranges. 902 903 buildable: 904 src/sys/arch/acorn26/conf/GENERIC 905 src/sys/arch/acorn32/conf/GENERIC 906 src/sys/arch/algor/conf/P6032 907 src/sys/arch/alpha/conf/GENERIC 908 src/sys/arch/alpha/conf/GENERIC.MP 909 src/sys/arch/amd64/conf/GENERIC 910 src/sys/arch/amd64/conf/GENERIC.MP 911 src/sys/arch/amiga/conf/GENERIC 912 src/sys/arch/arc/conf/GENERIC 913 src/sys/arch/atari/conf/MILAN-PCIIDE 914 src/sys/arch/bebox/conf/GENERIC 915 src/sys/arch/cats/conf/GENERIC 916 src/sys/arch/cesfic/conf/GENERIC 917 src/sys/arch/cobalt/conf/GENERIC 918 src/sys/arch/dreamcast/conf/GENERIC 919 src/sys/arch/evbarm/conf/TS7200 920 src/sys/arch/evbppc/conf/WALNUT 921 src/sys/arch/evbsh3/conf/COMPUTEXEVB 922 src/sys/arch/evbsh5/conf/CAYMAN64 923 src/sys/arch/hp300/conf/GENERIC 924 src/sys/arch/hp700/conf/GENERIC 925 src/sys/arch/hpcarm/conf/JORNADA728 926 src/sys/arch/hpcmips/conf/GENERIC 927 src/sys/arch/hpcsh/conf/GENERIC 928 src/sys/arch/hpcsh/conf/HPW650PA 929 src/sys/arch/i386/conf/GENERIC 930 src/sys/arch/i386/conf/GENERIC.MP 931 src/sys/arch/i386/conf/XEN0 932 src/sys/arch/i386/conf/XENU 933 src/sys/arch/ibmnws/conf/GENERIC 934 src/sys/arch/iyonix/conf/GENERIC 935 src/sys/arch/luna68k/conf/GENERIC 936 src/sys/arch/mac68k/conf/GENERIC 937 src/sys/arch/macppc/conf/GENERIC 938 src/sys/arch/macppc/conf/GENERIC.MP 939 src/sys/arch/mipsco/conf/GENERIC 940 src/sys/arch/mmeye/conf/GENERIC 941 src/sys/arch/mvme68k/conf/GENERIC 942 src/sys/arch/netwinder/conf/GENERIC 943 src/sys/arch/news68k/conf/GENERIC 944 src/sys/arch/newsmips/conf/GENERIC 945 src/sys/arch/next68k/conf/GENERIC 946 src/sys/arch/ofppc/conf/GENERIC 947 src/sys/arch/pc532/conf/GENERIC 948 src/sys/arch/pmax/conf/GENERIC 949 src/sys/arch/prep/conf/GENERIC 950 src/sys/arch/sandpoint/conf/GENERIC 951 src/sys/arch/sbmips/conf/GENERIC 952 src/sys/arch/sgimips/conf/GENERIC32_IP3x 953 src/sys/arch/shark/conf/GENERIC 954 src/sys/arch/sparc/conf/GENERIC 955 src/sys/arch/sparc/conf/GENERIC.MP 956 src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/GENERIC 957 src/sys/arch/sparc64/conf/GENERIC.MP 958 src/sys/arch/sun2/conf/GENERIC 959 src/sys/arch/sun3/conf/GENERIC 960 src/sys/arch/vax/conf/GENERIC 961 src/sys/arch/vax/conf/GENERIC.MP 962 src/sys/arch/x68k/conf/GENERIC 963 964 src/sys/arch/playstation2/conf/GENERIC 965 966Branch: yamt-pdpolicy 967Description: play with page replacement policy 968 - separate page replacement policy from the rest of kernel 969 - implement alternative replacement policy 970 - related read-ahead adjustment?
