Welcome.

The best way to get involved is to submit bug reports and patches for
anything that is not working for you. Since bhyve is a relatively new
project there are many gaps and conversely many opportunities to help.

Some big ticket items that we need to get the ball rolling on are:
- suspend/resume
- linux/windows as guest operating systems
- ethernet and storage device emulation (currently we rely on virtio)
- timekeeping

There are also small/medium size tasks that need to get done:
- cpuid emulation (currently we just transparently pass whatever the
host advertises)
- vga emulation
- hpet emulation

Then there are documentation, testing, usability things to be done:
- man pages
- out of the box experience
- configuration scripts

Have at it!

best
Neel

Re: question on bhyve + 9-stable

2013-01-03 Thread Peter Grehan

Hi Alfred,


The only issues I had were just due to that it has not been integrated
into head yet. I guess we may be stuck due to binutils for a while? I am
not sure.


 jhb fixed that for us in http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/238167 
so no problems there.


later,

Peter.

There-in is the challenge. You can try bhyve with simply a special 
snapshot and yes, user's will soon have it by default. Creating guests 
however opens up a can of worms of opportunities to tailor them to 
your needs. jail(8) is the same in this regard. I am however talking 
to Kris about integrating bhyve into PC-BSD's Warden so that there can 
be at least one turn-key experience out there.




Yes, but please in no way take my comments as a reflection on the bhyve 
project.

Welcome!

Testing is a great place to start because each person asks a question of 
it that no one else has thought of. Do you have it up and running?


I have attempted to make this easy with the binaries and scripts at 
http://bhyve.org


Non-FreeBSD experience is also welcome as we map out how to support 
other operating systems as guests.


All the best,

Michael
