In that case, could we please bring it back in to svn? It seems silly to remove a driver just because it's not being actively maintained: that isn't the bar for keeping drivers in FreeBSD, and I note that mthca is still present in Linux. If there is some work needed to get the kernel and userland components to compile again, I'm happy to do it; I just don't want to have to maintain an out-of-tree HCA driver when there's no good reason it can't stay in svn. _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
