Ämne: RE : [lwip-users] BSD API tcp echo server port


Hello Kieran,
 
Do you have a planned timetable on the previously discussed Savannah code
repository structure changes? I've got some stuff that might be interesting
to raw API users... I hope to soon be able to provide some well tested
raw-API sample apps but don't want to do anything until the new structure is
in place.
 
Also, a suggestion on the 'contrib/ports' area... it would be nice if the
port entries specified the platform more completely - i.e. processor + OS
(if any) + toolchain used. I can envision multiple 68K ports or ARM ports
for example using different OSes or compilers being made available.
 
i.e. /lwip/contrib/ports/<processor>/<OS>/<toolchain>
 
e.g. /ports/Intel/Win32/VS60/... or ports/Intel/suse/gnu/...
 
Network interface drivers are another question in my mind - I've not fully
thought out where they might fit best in this scenario. Perhaps something
like lwip/contrib/drivers/<device>/<os>?
 
FYI.... I also have recently finished porting the uIP resolver code to lwIP
so it is usable with the raw interface... I've asked around here before and
nobody seems to have missed it or known why it wasn't included in the
original port, but I needed a simple DNS resolver client so I just did it
myself. I looked the full-blown ARES port that Marc Boucher did and thought
it was easier to start with uIP than pare ARES down to just a resolver that
would work with the raw interface.
 
Thanks!
 
- Jim

That sounds like a good layout.

I intend to as a first step create an "old" or "archive" directory in
the top of the contrib module, move everything into that, and then set
up something like you describe.  Maintainers can then move things back
from this old/archive directory into the new directory structure when
they are brought up to the new spec.  This should mean we only have
things in there that are maintained.  I also intend to create a FILES
readme sort of document that will list who is maintaining what, so it is
at least a bit more traceable. 

I suspect though that maintainers will be very thin on the ground,
despite it not being a particularly arduous job, and that the vast
majority will stay in the old archive.  Volunteers welcome!

I'd also like to assemble a list of externally distributed ports, as
they would also be of use to others, particularly if they are
maintained.  Any suggestions for this would be welcome too.

Kieran
