[ECOS] cvs: has packages/net/ disappeared ?

[Alexander Neundorf]

Hi,

neither an cvs update nor webcvs show the subdirectory packages/net/ anymore ?
What's going on there ? Am I doing something wrong ?

net and snmp are in a seperate repository, ecos-opt.

If you checkout the module ecos it will combine both the main
reporitory and ecos-opt. If you checkout without specifying the ecos
module it just checks out the main repository.

See the instructions at

http://ecos.sourceware.org/anoncvs.html

and follow exactly what it says...

Is there a reason for this wacky layout of the eCos repository? It
prevents checking out ecos into a directory other than ecos/ and when
you ecos update it promptly pulls in all the bits you omitted (mostly
~100 Mbyte of images...) when you checked out.

net was kept seperate because it is big. At the time it was considered
optional since not so many systems used networking. Since then times
have changed. Networking is now much more common and developers have
faster network links to the repository. 

It has been talked about rearranging the repository when eCos 3.0
finally happens. I think at that point net will be merged into the
main repository and probably the images will be moved out.
