Hi ! I like lxr pretty much. i`m not a programmer, but i often need some information on "what`s the driver version of xyz in latest kernel" or "was this or that feature/patch already being merged" or "i have this line of code in kernel - how does it look in recent kernel , did it change " ?
over the years, i have downloaded tons of kernels for this, very much waste of bandwidth and time - because whenever i need to take a look, i have no recent kernel source around - so i need to download that big thing and go trough that untar orgy. having recent browsable/searchable and easy to find lxr`ed kernel-source online would be really great i seldom find lxr for current kernels on the net, so i just wonder: why not adding a link to every kernel an kernel.org kernel, pointing to recent lxr`ed kernel source - or - even better - make lxr`ed kernel source part of kernel.org (so we have "B V VI C Changelog LXR" ) ? sure, i know kernel.org itself is very busy, but maybe this can be done via dedicated lxr machine/webserver someone is willing to donate !? for myself, i would happily donate some bucks for this. roland List: linux-kernel Subject: Re: What tools to use?

If you don't want to set it up yourself, then you could consider to use the online version at http://lxr.linux.no/ Another good thing is "make ctags" in the kernel source dir - this will let you quickly jump to declarations etc and back with a few simple keystrokes in editors like vim. http://www.faqs.org/docs/ldev/0130091154_64.htm http://applications.linux.com/article.pl?sid=07/01/22/167212&tid=13&tid=47 http://cscope.sourceforge.net/cscope_vim_tutorial.html "make cscope" is another good option. It'll generate an index usable by the cscope tool (http://cscope.sourceforge.net/). -- Jesper Juhl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html _______________________________________________________________ SMS schreiben mit WEB.DE FreeMail - einfach, schnell und kostenguenstig.
