[parisc-linux] simple kernel tasks?

[Randolph Chung]

Hi all,

Per Grant's suggestion I had looked into getting /dev/rtc to work. I
checked in my changes yesterday and they seem to be ok.

I was wondering if there's a list of TODOs for things that need to be
done in the kernel. I'd like to help if i can, though I'm still learning
the ropes so simple tasks are preferred :-)

thanks,
randolph

Hey Randolph! Excellent!

I'm still chuckling about finding "#CONFIG_RTC is not set".

We certainly do have a list:

	http://www.thepuffingroup.com/parisc/status.html

The only problem is this list lags behind the "real" TODO list
(in CVS website/status.x). This lag is a result of hosting CVS
on a different machine than the website and a slightly manual
process to syncronize the two.

The plan is to automate CVS->webserver updates...but maybe we shouldn't
bother and hook into the debian bug tracking system instead.
Suggestions for some other existing "change request" system?

thanks,

:-) oh, and the "fix" I made was simply to correctly match up the
functions in the file_operations struct to the 2.4 structure. I think
the old genrtc driver was coded to use an older structure.

Cool! I'll check it out.
