I don't know exactly what code you're referring to. > Or tell me you handed me your patches to upstream, and then continued > to evolved the code without letting me know?

I haven't changed the compression patch since I posted it a long time ago: https://people.freebsd.org/~markj/patches/core-compression/20141110-kern_dump.diff I've made a fairly large set of changes to the netdump code linked on your page. Some of the changes were motivated by the objections raised to the original set of patches. I currently don't have a working copy of my netdump patches against HEAD, but here are some internal patches: https://people.freebsd.org/~markj/patches/netdump/ A recent revision of the netdumpd code is here: https://github.com/markjdb/netdumpd _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
