BRANCHES revision 1.86 1 # $NetBSD: BRANCHES,v 1.86 2006/06/21 15:20:39 yamt Exp $
2 #
3 # This file contains a list of branches that exist in the NetBSD CVS
4 # tree and their current state.
5 #
6 # This list is necessarily incomplete.
7 #
8 # Within reason, developers may create branch and version tags at any
9 # time for any purpose. 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.

200 Branch: bjh21-hydra
201 Description: Simtec Hydra support and ARM SMP in general
202 Status: Active
203 Start Date: 18 Oct 2002
204 End Date:
205 Base Tag: bjh21-hydra-base
206 Maintainer: Ben Harris <bjh21 (a] NetBSD.org>
207 Scope: sys/arch/arm sys/arch/acorn32
208 Notes: This code is on a branch because it involves changes to
209 cpuswitch.S which would otherwise make merging the
210 nathanw_sa branch difficult. This branch is expected
211 to be merged to the trunk shortly after nathanw_sa.
212
213 Branch: chap-midi
214 Description: Renovation of MIDI support
215 Status: Active
216 Start Date: 19 May 2006
217 End Date:
218 Base Tag: chap-midi-base
219 Maintainer: Chapman Flack <chap (a] NetBSD.org>
220 Scope: sys, share/man, usr.bin
221 Notes: Compiles and works on i386 (tested with a MidiSport 2x4 and
222 pcppi/midisyn). Ready for testing. Please coordinate commits
223 with maintainer.

225 Branch: gdamore-uart

228 Start Date: 14 June 2006
229 End Date:
230 Base Tag: gdamore-uart-base
231 Maintainer: Garrett D'Amore <gdamore (a] NetBSD.org>
232 Scope: kernel
233 Notes: Results in consolidation of Alchemy (mips/dev/alchemy/aucom.c)
234 com support, and also removes a nasty hack from Atheros com.
235
236 Branch: gmcgarry_ctxsw
237 Description: Separate scheduler from context-switch code
238 Status: Dormant
239 Start Date: 18 December 2002
240 End Date:
241 Base Tag: gmcgarry_ctxsw_base
242 Maintainer: Gregory McGarry <gmcgarry (a] NetBSD.org>
243 Scope: kernel
244 Notes: Removing knowledge of the schedular and its run queues
245 from the machine-dependent context switch code is the
246 first step in cleaning up the scheduler. It is necessary
247 for the newlock branch, making the scheduler SMP friendly,
248 adding real-time scheduler extensions, and reducing the
249 number of code paths for LWP and proc switching.

620 Notes: The idea of scheduler activations is described in the

622 a on Computer Systems volume 10 issue 1 (1992),which
623 can be found at
624 http://www.acm.org/pubs/citations/journals/tocs/1992-10-1/p53-anderson/
625 Many ideas in the implementation are based on the
626 implementation of scheduler activations added to Mach
627 3.0 and described by Davis et al. in the University of
628 Washington CS tech report 92-08-93, which can be found

665 Code committed to the branch has booted to multiuser
666 on at least one system.
667
668 Not guaranteed to compile against mainline since -current
669 may have changed incompatibly with the last branch update;
670 use "cvs update -D" to roll-back the rest of the tree to match.
671
672 Please get explicit permission from the maintainer
673 before each commit, or your changes will be backed out.
674 Other tags starting with sommerfeld_ are private to
675 the developer and are guaranteed to be unstable.
676 Only the maintainer should move tags.
677
678 Note that this branch uses a DIFFERENT scheme for
679 synching with the mainline. the maintainer uses some private
680 scripts for keeping them in synch; if you make commits
681 to the branch to "resynchronize" things, you'll
682 probably do it wrong; instead, ask the maintainer to
683 resynchronize things.

809 Base tag: wrstuden-devbsize-base
810 Maintainer: Bill Studenmund <wrstuden (a] NetBSD.org>
811 Scope: kernel
812 Notes: No longer active due to lack of time, and introduction
813 of UBC. In terms of UBC, the primary cache for
814 file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate
815 in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native
816 pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is
817 a mapping going on between the VM system and the
818 underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner
819 to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes.
820 Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset
821 with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big
822 deal.
823
824 Any other wrstuden-devbsize tag may (and should) go away.
