| |
Linus,
I at present have the NWFS utilities and File System drivers as single source base. Obviously, the way your tree is organized, the file system driver proper should be in the kernel tree and the file system utitilies somewhere else. Where should I breakout the file system utils and where do these go? I noticed stuff for ext2 on www.kernel.org in a utils directory. Are the utilities something I should submit as a tar.gz and the driver as a patch, or can I leave the utilities in the source tree itself. It's been coded to have dependencies on most of the files that comprise the driver itself, but obviously, this is probably how someone who lives on another planet would do it. I also have a single source base for all versions of Linux rather than a different file system code base for each version, which is how you've got it organized today. This part I can get around. What's a little harder is how the utilities depend on the driver source files. I can maintain a separate code base for the Utilities, however, this means I have to maintain two code bases and keep them in sync if bugs get fixed in one or the other.
Please advise,
