Unfortunately, this code is a mixture of both the original release code plus some bits from -current. (There were JREMOD diffs in the middle of some of the older diffs for example). I'm keeping the actual /sys/pccard diffs current to -current, and in the process of bringing them back to -stable as well. I'll be working on the /sys/i386/isa bits as well, and hope to commit some of it when I get the lineage a bit more removed. I realize it is alpha code, but > it > could prove useful to have it under CVS in case a card stops working > between 9602xx and 960?xx releases.

I'm going to *attempt* (assumming Poul lets me) to bring in the /sys/pccard bits into both -stable and -current to make it easier to minimize the patches in xperiment. The code is useless in -stable w/out changes to /sys/i386/i386/conf.c anyway, so it won't hurt. However, the patches to /sys/i386 probably won't go into -stable unless they have merit outside of the PCCARD world. And, some of the bits may not go into -current if I or Poul don't feel they are OK to go. > Is there a way to put something into the CVS repository so that it is > readily available but also not part of current? Sorta an experimental or > reference Yep, you add it on a branch. However, I attempted to do this in the past with a verion of CVS, and I don't think anyone had the time and/or desire to look at it, so I'm not convinced it's worth my time and effort to bring things in given the headaches of keeping branch revisions up.
