Git process: Install git (if you have problems with this, let us know): Then: git-clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6.git With this you should have David Miller networking tree, the canonical one when working on linux networking code, mine is just a staging area for David as his is a staging area for Linus. At this point Gerrit is maintaining a set of patches, not using git, so you'll have to get the patches he is staging for me at: http://www.erg.abdn.ac.uk/users/gerrit/dccp/patch-backlog/the_whole_lot.tar.gz Apply them in order and you'll have the current status quo, I hope to go over the patches Gerrit is graciously maintaining soon, but the process above should be simple enough for you to follow. Questions? - Arnaldo
If you're just wanting to test Arnaldo's advice is great. If you're wanting to code for a bit longer and keep up to date I'd add to his advice a bit. What I'd advise at present is to clone off Linus' tree and then make a copy of this off Dave M's tree if needed (at present it is not needed as no outstanding DCCP patches). This is because you will have to keep recloning Dave M's tree when he starts afresh off Linus' tree. I would use a patch management tool such as stgit or quilt so you can look at individual patches. I personally use stgit and I can type something like "stg import -t -s ../gerrit/series" to pull in all Gerrit's patches. I've written a draft paper (more practical than academic) on this process which can be found on my webpage. I also have put quite a few notes up on my local LUG Wiki http://wlug.org.nz/KernelDevelopment Ian -- Web: http://wand.net.nz/~iam4 Blog: http://iansblog.jandi.co.nz WAND Network Research Group - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dccp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
