Subj: 	Config file differences for lsm_ted in nightly files

I've stumbled across some apparently nightly pool only configuration
file modifications for the lsm_ted device that nobody seems to know
how to handle.  This affects the kernel/conf/alpha files.  A
comparison between ptos/src/kernel/conf/alpha/SAS and ptos.nightly
src/kernel/conf/alpha/SAS gives the following:
6,9d5
< # Revision 1.2.139.7  1995/04/10  14:19:48  Harinder_Bhasin
< # 	Incorporated LSM TED, test suite, in the nightly build process.
< # 	[1995/04/07  19:17:47  Harinder_Bhasin]
< #
13c9
< # 
---
> #
2242a2239
> pseudo-device	lsm_ted		0

With the comment being in the ptos tree and the pseudo-device entry
being in the ptos.nightly tree.  A diff of the files file in the same
sub-dir yields:
5,8d4
< # Revision 1.2.299.20  1995/04/10  14:20:08  Harinder_Bhasin
< # 	Incorporated LSM TED, test suite, in the nightly build process.
< # 	[1995/04/07  19:18:14  Harinder_Bhasin]

> # LSM ted files
> #
> ted/ted.c			optional lsm_ted Binary
> ted/tedSpace.c			optional lsm_ted Binary

Again with the comment in the ptos tree and the files appearing in
the nightly tree.

I need to modify the GENERIC, SAS, PELICAN, FLAMINGO and files files
in the kernel/conf/alpha sub directory to defunct the PXG device.  If
I check these files out of the ptos, which I've been doing, my build
against the nightly tree is broken.  If I check them out of the nightly
tree, which has been suggested, then I face merge problems when I
submit to the ptos pool.

What is the "official" position on how to proceed?

Also, is there any chance that my srequests, ptos-107[23]-dbloemen
will be approved in time to make the pre-BL6 release?

Thank you,

The files in the ptos submit tree [ptos] are the up to date files.  
ptos.nightly
is now 2 days old due to bad builds.  The latest bad build is reflected in
the tree called "ptos.nightly.standby".

I would make your changes in a pool backed by ptos, and do your builds in that
same sandbox.

John
