Most of my KDB contributions and work in the last few months have been in helping Jason and Jesse clean up the KDB code to inclusion into the kernel as a front-end for kgdb. I'm pretty excited about the prospect of getting this into the kernel. Future versions of KDB may evolve into a set of patches to apply on top of the in-kernel version of KDB/KGDB to add additional features that aren't yet ready for kernel inclusion or are unpalatable to the main-line kernel, like the USB keyboard patches currently are. mh _______________________________________________ kdb mailing list [email protected] http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/kdb
