NetBSD-SoC: Add kqueue support to GIO
What is it?
The main intention is to bring a native file monitoring support to GIO. Currently it uses inotify "as is", during the summer I will give it an abstration layer and a kqueue back-end. Additionally an inotify-over-kqueue compatibility library is planned, it will help to easily port and run any software that uses inotify directly.
Status
Status updates are available at a special blog.
- April 25, 2011: Community Bonding Period -- Students get to know mentors, read documentation, get up to speed to begin working on their projects.
- May 23, 2011: Students begin coding for their GSoC projects; Google begins issuing initial student payments
- July 11, 2011: Mentors and students can begin submitting mid-term evaluations.
- July 15, 2011: Mid-term evaluation deadline; Google begins issuing mid-term student payments provided passing student survey is on file.
- August 15, 2011: Suggested 'pencils down' date. Take a week to scrub code, write tests, improve documentation, etc.
- August 22, 2011: Firm 'pencils down' date. Mentors, students
and organization administrators can begin submitting final evaluations to
Google.
- August 26, 2011: Final evaluation deadline; Google begins issuing student and mentoring organization payments provided forms and evaluations are on file.
Deliverables
Mandatory (must-have) components:
- A set of patches for GIO;
- A set of tests for new functionality;
- Relevant documentation.
Optional (would-be-nice) components:
- The inotify-over-kqueue library;
- A set of tests for it;
- Relevant documentation.
