[uml-devel] The web page doesn't say where to get the switch daemon.

[Rob Landley]

It's not on the networking page, or in the howto, it's not in the kernel 
tarball, and the download page just links to 
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/networking.html#switch

Let's see, the uml_net link from the download page (the difference between 
that and uml_switch is...?) links to a generic page about CVS, which isn't 
installed on my laptop.  (Subversion is, but doesn't help here.)  Ok, a web 
browsing link...  No tarball.  Ok, maybe it's one source file I can get and 
compile, ala ifenslave...

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/user-mode-linux/tools/net/

Ok, so:

A) None of the files in this directory have changed in over four years, yet 
there is no tarball.

B) None of them is obviously the switch daemon.

I think I'll put UML networking back on the TODO list and go do something 
else...

Let's see.  On the downloads page, there is a utilities section which says
something about uml_switch.  Grabbing that tarball shows me a directory
called uml_router (which is probably the problem - that's the old name before
people clued me in that I hadn't really implemented a router) with something
called uml_switch.c in it.  Building that might give you something called
uml_switch.

I never found a utilities tarball.  (I looked for a while.)

I ended up following the link to CVS, wandering around in there for a bit 
until I found the uml_router directory (at which point I remembered reading 
about the old name) doing a right-click save-as on the "download" link of 
the .c file, then grabbing the .h files it couldn't find, then grabbing 
port.c and hash.c too...  Then it built.

I'll look again for the tarball next time I'm online.  (Laptop at Einstein's 
bagels at the moment: no net access.)

Found the tarball.  (I thought the grey bar at the very bottom of my screen 
was the start of the next section, turns out the download links for the 
tarballs are in a big grey box the size of the screen.  Misleading color 
scheme, that.)

Sorry for the confusion...

I guess that yep, the web-pages are "totally as-is", but uml_utilities is even 
packaged by your distro... btw, they should even have a security patch for 
uml_net - it can be called to bring down an iface by any user, for slip 
usage...
