The anti-spamer is a PITA. One more time. BTW, I'll be at BAFUG tonight. Jessem. ----------------------------------------------- BUDS Coming to you soon. BUDS (BSD Unix Distributed Simple-ly) 1999-05-13 The Digital Marshalls[4] are proud to annouce the the coming of a new shared resoure for the FreeBSD development community. = BUDS, BSD Unix Distributed Simple-ly, is "general purpose" cluster system= for FreeBSD. The system uses a PC/workstation design for parallelized tas= king and distributed computing experiments. Details for BUDS are at: http://www.mozie.com/projects/buds/index.html As more information becomes available it will be announced. = In the mean time we hope that the development community will = consider the following topics for this system. o........ Deep Recursion Testing[1] o........ Permuntation Compilation of the GENERIC Kernel[2] o........ Custom Packaging of FreeBSD[3] o........ Individual Experimenting[4] Donations for this project were provided by the Digital Marshalls, DVBS (www.videotechnology.com) and Tom Sailers of Editor of = The Cheap Sheet (http://www.thesoftroute.com/humor.htm). --- [1] Deep Recursion Testing Recursive testing of known bugs and pasts bugs to test for their possible reintroduction in to the kernel tree. [2] Permuntation Compilation of the GENERIC Kernel Currently, the make for the kernel has bugs which do not allow certain parts of it to be compiled cleans. For instance, commenting out the controller 'pci0' and trying to build the kernel will provide many errors. The idea would be to compile all permutations of the GENERIC kernel so that these bugs/errors would be elminated. [3] Custom Packaging of FreeBSD The thought is to be able to provide users with custom kernel with the exact needs according to their hardware and software specifications. This could possibly be part of a commerial = project that would charge end-users a minial fee, of which a percentage would go to the FreeBSD Project. = [4] Individual Experimenting This means that any individual part of the FreeBSD community could use this project for whatever they wanted. [5] The Digital Marshalls are: Terje Oseberg, programmer extraordinare from SRI Jonathan Walters, gopher and head pipe cleaner Jesus Monroy, hack and annoying FreeBSD advocate --- IN that context, it is the BSD that should be considered, not the prefix. http://minnie.cs.adfa.oz.au/cgi-bin/newsread?34858 ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=3D= 1 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
