Event TimelineComment Actions wrt amd64-elf.hpt37xx_lib.o.uu, I'd like us to stop uuencoding objects, they can just be committed directly. We have a number of binary files in the tree already, some representative examples: stand/efi/boot1/fat-amd64.tmpl.xz
Comment Actions I could do a build that has the driver and put it on freefall so you could grab it and test it. Do you have amd64 hardware I assume? Comment Actions I contacted HighPoint and they are going to do a driver for me to install. Think that will be the route I will go for now. Comment Actions IMO uuencoding objects is an artifact of when we had a less capable VCS; we have binary files in the tree already and so it should be fine to skip the uuencode. Comment Actions One user asked me why this driver never hit src tree. Were there any serious issues with the driver? Note there's a slightly newer driver from HighPoint. Comment Actions I don't have a card to test with. That, coupled with the binary blob makes me less inclined to spend time on it. But I'd like reports of it working after the commit to feel happiest. |
