Work on a project: Refactor Linux hotplug scripts

[Надежда Ампилогова]

Hi all,

I am interested in the project Refactor Linux hotplug scripts for Outreachy(Round 11). I am more of an intermediate-beginner in c. Please can anyone provide some pointers and helper about the things I need to do to join this project.

Thanks,
Nadya Ampilogova

Hello,

You have to start by setting up your development system, there's a lot
of information about how to do this on the Xen wiki:

http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Getting_Started
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Compiling_Xen_From_Source
http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Serial_Console

Since you have to submit a patch before formally applying for OPW, you
will have to get used to git (if you are not yet familiar with it), we
also have a couple of wiki pages about this:

http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Submitting_Xen_Project_Patches

I personally use stgit in order to manage my patches:

http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Submitting_Xen_Patches_with_StGit

Maybe during this process you will find issues or things that you think
can be improved, if that's the case those patch(es) could be used in
order to fulfil your application. If not, reply back and we will try to
find a suitable small task.

Roger.

Here are some simple tasks that are suitable in order to complete your
application (if you pick one of them please say so in order to avoid
collisions with other applicants):

Hello, I want to take up this bug CID1311511.

xc_dom_allocate assigns return value to variable dom which is of type *struct
xc_dom_image*
dom = xc_dom_allocate(xch, cmdline, NULL);

what kind of error checking is supposed to be implemented here? Kindly
advise.

Thanks
Lasya V
