Hi guys, Right now I can build a customized NetBSD kernel + userland from sources. The document is pretty clear and I got it by following those steps. However, in terms of the working environments, I have 3 specific questions to ask. 1. I noticed that netbsd community use CVS for version control, I am familiar with git, and can learn CVS. Also I noticed that there are actually git repo at github which hosts the netbsd source code, and seems there is an automatic transfer when one pushes to CVS repo. I am wondering what's the prefer way to add code, CVS, git(send pull request to github) or patch. 2. How do you work in netbsd, do you use GUI (like xwindow, or gnome)? If so, which do you recommend? I installed Xwindows several times, but seems have some problems. 3. What tools do you use to view kernel code? do you use IDE or just vim(emacs)? Actually, it is hard to look the code, jump to the declaration or usages because netbsd has a huge code base. I am looking for a way to work efficiently with netbsd, your best practices would be helpful.
