Too much changed out from under Cerowrt-rc7 to deliver a stable release. It IS serving it's original purpose in being a R&D platform for inquiring into bufferbloat and the difficulties home gateways face in the coming decade admirably, but, a thorough review of the roadmap for rc8 shows several man years of development is required to deliver everything on that list, and that list is incomplete at best. http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/cerowrt/roadmap This is a major problem. Something has to give. Yet there's some really good stuff in there. In particular the new AQMs are looking promising, as is BQL. The cerowrt repository on github has been renamed to Cerowrt-rc7. There will not be a 'final' rc7 release. There will not be a public cerowrt-rc8 repo for a while, either, while we get the above sorted out. If you have any out of tree updates to cerowrt-rc7 and would like them considered for rc8, please submit them to the cerowrt-devel list. This will be the last message to the bloat-devel list regarding the cerowrt development process. Future cross postings will stay focused on bloat related R&D. I will also be adding some infrastructure for postings to cerowrt-commits and more automated builds in the hope of reducing the administrative burden somewhat. Any suggestions on how to better maintain and interoperate with source trees kept in svn and git, incorporating hundreds of packages, and still find a decent way to hit one button and build an OS are AND still move constructively forward with innovative R&D are *welcomed*. --=20 Dave T=E4ht SKYPE: davetaht US Tel: 1-239-829-5608 FR Tel: 0638645374 http://www.bufferbloat.net
