Hi, I'm currently working on a device driver port and given its architecture I would need to add some vendor maintained code to vendor-sys. In this particular case I know that there is some code from this vendor (Cavium) already present in vendor-sys (namely octeon-sdk). It deals with the same hardware as my driver but from a different perspective. The octeon-sdk works with Octeon processor as a FreeBSD host whereas the code I have to put into vendor-sys (let's call it cnnic-sdk) works from a device perspective (Octeon is a PCIe target). Normally I would assume that the correct place to put the new vendor code would be a new directory (i.e. vendor-sys/cnnic-sdk/dist), however in this case I was thinking whether it would make sense (and/or is allowed) to group those two pieces of software as sub-directories of a single vendor directory: "cavium"? If I'm not mistaken there is already something similar done with vendor/NetBSD but each "sub-project" lives inside the same repository (in dist). In my case I would like to have the two Octeon related projects in separate repositories as they are developed and updated separately. At the same time I don't want to re-invent the wheel or do something not in FreeBSD spirit of work. So to sum things up what would make the most sense:
1. Put my vendor code into a new directory in vendor-sys (i.e. vendor-sys/cnnic-sdk/dist), 2. Create vendor-sys/cavium and put octeon-sdk into vendor-sys/cavium/octeon-sdk/dist and my code into vendor-sys/cavium/cnnic-sdk/dist, 3. Create vendor-sys/cavium/dist and put octeon-sdk into vendor-sys/cavium/dist/octeon-sdk and my code into vendor-sys/cavium/dist/cnnic-sdk? Thanks in advance for Your help! -- Best Regards, Stanisław Kardach _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
