I think having one repo makes sense, but I dont know if putting that in the kernel tree is the right direction. Is there another way? For instance, go back to using /kernel, /libkvm, and /qemu from SVN and submitting patches/drops to the kernel tree. I am not advocating SVN over GIT either...the new unified repo could be whatever. I think the most important thing is having it in one place. > With the paravirt stuff we are placing things all over the kernel, and tighter integration with the scheduler and mm infrastructure will make having a kernel/ directory impossible. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
