Hi I still have two unintegrated patches required to build glusterfs on NetBSD. Those were rejected some time ago to licensing concerns. 1) There is the xdr_sizeof(), stolen from FreeBSD. It has an odd Sun license "Users may copy or modify Sun RPC without charge, but are not authorized to license or distribute it to anyone else except as part of a product of program developed by the user." http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/filesystems/glusterfs/patches /patch-bk?rev=1.6 2) There are basename_r() and dirname_r(), stolen from GNU libc, which are licensed GPL v2.1 or later http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/filesystems/glusterfs/patches /patch-be?rev=1.8 I understand that license mixing is undesirable, as it taints files and can cause problems later. On the other hand, having a glusterfs able to build out of the git on NetBSD would be nice. Would that code be accepted in tree if it was in a dedicated file? That way other glusterfs code would not be tainted, and the file can just be removed by anyone having a licencing issue. If the proposal is accepted, I propose adding a libglusterfs/src/compat_netbsd.c, which would be #include'ed with #ifdef __NetBSD__ -- Emmanuel Dreyfus http://hcpnet.free.fr/pubz manu@xxxxxxxxxx
