| - | Next steps: | + | ==== Sun 27 Jul ==== |
| - | * [GDB] Add sample GDB session to wiki and explain commands | + | **The Roundup issue tracker** is close to ready. Mdc and I have spent some time setting up the [[http://roundup.sf.net/|Roundup issue tracker]] to improve our grasp on patches and bugs. |
| - | * [DMA] DMA pool API so drivers can reserve DMA buffers on ''open()''. | + | |
| - | * [b44] Cleanup, testing, performance. | + | Currently we suffer the problem that patches are easily forgotten on the mailing list if the developers are busy. An issue tracker provides a better overview of outstanding patches that need to be reviewed. |
| - | * [shutdown] Remove gPXE allocated memory and free up PXE+UNDI, if necessary. | + | |
| - | * [bzImage] Expand the heap size to the full 64K segment when loading a bzImage kernel with version 2.02 or higher. | + | Bug reports are also streamlined by the new system. This will be especially useful in the coming months as Etherboot.org becomes more visible and new users try it. |
| - | * [GDB] Real-mode remote debugging. | + | |
