===== Week 11 [ Mon 2 Aug 2010 - Sun 8 Aug 2010 ] ===== ==== Day 1 [ Mon 2 Aug 2010 ] ==== Git commit: [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/andreif/gpxe.git;a=commit;h=aa205b0d6b511e989af68d07794859dac6829be3|aa205b0d6b511e989af68d07794859dac6829be3]] Back after a long week with not much activity. I am commited to finish this last mini-project, consisting of getting Xen to work under gPXE, using multiboot. After yesterday's meeting it has been decided that an extra ''imgdecode'' command would make matters unnecessarily complicated for the end user. Therefore, decoding will be done automatically after an image is fetched. If users want to avoid this behaviour, the ''imgfetch'' command will have an ''--nodecode'' flag. I implemented the necessary modifications today, along with gzip header parsing. If things go well, tomorrow I will decompress the first image using gPXE. After that, I will focus on getting Xen to work. ==== Day 2 [ Tue 3 Aug 2010 ] ==== Git commit: [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/andreif/gpxe.git;a=commit;h=9436fefddae93ad660784f030aa95523b70dfb68|9436fefddae93ad660784f030aa95523b70dfb68]] Ported the decoding code today from the zlib library, but I didn't get to test it or arrange it properly. I am curious of the impact of calling copy_to/from_user for every byte. I'll probably have to rethink that part alltogether.
