I think I have some different understanding.

My opinion is that with excessive use of these { and }'s the code could
be sometimes confusing to human reader, especially if there are a lot of
consecutive single line if's that can not be easily converted to case
(e.g. in case we wanted to test bit masks, etc).

Also to quote style(9):

%
No braces (`{' and `}') are used for control statements with zero or
only a single statement unless that statement is more than a single line
in which case they are permitted.  Forever loops are done with for's,
not while's.
%

Because msdosfs is considered as our own code (e.g. we don't want to
sync it with a foreign vendor who has different style guidelines), I
think it would be more appropriate to obey style(9)'s rules.

Cheers,

Progress for 7.0 - the "what's cooking" page

[Ivan Voras]

Hi,

As some of you may know, I'm maintaining a web page which aims to 
enumerate and describe major new features for FreeBSD 7, located at 
http://ivoras.sharanet.org/freebsd/freebsd7.html .


Since 7.0 should be released "soon", I'd like to update the page with 
the current status of the projects. In particular, I'd like to mark 
projects that won't be ready for 7.0. To do so, I need input from the 
projects' authors and maintainers. So if you are listed on the page and 
your project status is updated and no longer matches what's written on 
the page, please respond to this thread. Also, if a feature won't be 
ready for 7.0 but will be sometime during 7.x, please state so.


Of course, additions, corrections, etc. are also welcome.

Thanks :)

Would it be worth mentioning more prominently that NET_NEEDS_GIANT
has been axed?  It may be included in ``pushing GIANT farther back'',
but it seems deserving of an explicit mention, to me.

(Thanks to everyone who put the work in to get that done!)

As for linuxulator. The default sysctl will be
"compat.linux.osrelease: 2.4.2" and the port will be linux_base-fc4:

It may be worth mentioning that iscsi_initiator appeared.

I'm sure I'm wrong, but I could have sworn I read something today  
about linuxolator being 2.6.16 kernel with Fedora Core 6?

I spoke with a couple of their devs on Freenode and while they are willing to 
assist contributors porting to FreeBSD, they are not actively working on it 
themselves. Their response to my inquiry was "check out source and start 
porting!"

A few of their devs hang out in #vbox-dev on Freenode. This would be an 
excellent port for FreeBSD.

best,
-matt

Re: Progress for 7.0 - the "what's cooking" page

[Joshua Isom]

I think some mention of ATAPI SATA drives should be mentioned.  I have 
an SATA DVD-RW drive that needs a 7.0 kernel to be recognized, and 
given some comments on the list, the problem seems to be have been 
support for ATAPI SATA drives on FreeBSD 6.x(it's not in -STABLE).  The 
chipset on the motherboard is "supported" under 6.x and it's a generic 
DVD-RW drive, but combined it's not supported without -CURRENT.  I 
think  is 
related but I haven't tested the code(I'm currently on 6-STABLE and 
about to upgrade to 7-CURRENT kernel and 6-STABLE userland).
