It’s an MPSAFE!

Matthew Dillon’s making some changes get get us just a little closer to removing the Big Giant Lock for multiprocessor systems; it’s now possible to treat certain interrupts, traps, and syscalls as mpsafe. mpsafe, for the acronymically challenged, is “multi-processor safe”.

pkgsrc guide translation

The pkgsrc guide (not DragonFly-specific; for that, see the wiki) has been translated into Brazilian Portuguese.

Why, yes, I am having a hard time finding newsworthy items today; why do you ask?

HEADS UP: rebuilding on the bleeding edge

If you’re running the latest Development code, you will need to do a full build/install of world and kernel, because of a libc change. Matthew Dillon says so.

Forcing a working nv card

And in another followup, several people pointed at the forcedepth Linux driver (for which I can’t find a link – help!) for Nvidia-chipset network cards as an alternative to get the Shuttle boards working. (previous story) Matthew Dillon’s going to look at them.
