Rherndon: /* Development and bleeding edge Development */

== XFS Released/Stable source ==

* '''Mainline kernels''' XFS has been maintained in the official Linux kernel [http://www.kernel.org/ kernel trees] starting with Linux 2.4 and is frequently updated with the latest stable fixes and features from the SGI XFS development team.

* '''Vendor kernels''' All modern Linux distributions include support for XFS. SGI actively works with [http://www.suse.com/ SUSE] to provide a supported version of XFS in that distribution.

* '''XFS userspace''' Sgi also provides [ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs source code taballs] of the xfs userspace tools. These tarballs form the basis of the xfsprogs packages found in Linux distributions.

The Git trees are automated mirrored copies of the cvs trees using git-cvsimport.
Since git-cvsimport utilized the tool cvsps to recreate the atomic commits of ptools
or "mod" it is easier to see the entire change that was committed using git.

git-cvsimport generated trees.

Before building in the xfsdump or dmapi directories (after building xfsprogs), you will need to run:
<pre># cd xfsprogs
# make install-dev</pre>
to create /usr/include/xfs and install appropriate files there.

Before building in the xfstests directory, you will need to run:
<pre># cd xfsprogs
# make install-qa</pre>
to install a somewhat larger set of files in /usr/include/xfs.

== XFS cvs trees ==

The cvs trees were created using a script that converted sgi's internal
ptools repository to a cvs repository, so the cvs trees were considered read only.

At this point a new development is being managed by the git trees so the cvs trees
are not longer active in terms of current development and should only be used
for reference.
