NetBSD System Roadmap
=====================

This is a small roadmap document, and deals with the main system
aspects of the operating system.
-The following projects will appear in NetBSD 6.0:
-1. 64-bit time values supported
-2. Better Kernel Modules support
-5. namei() tactical changes
-9. namei() strategic changes
-10. emap (ephemeral mapping) support for i386 and amd64

The following projects may make it into future releases:

Some explanations
=================
-1. 64-bit time_t support
--------------------------
-
-The Unix 32-bit time_t value will overflow in 2037 - any mortgage calculations
-which use a time_t value are in danger of overflowing at the present time -
-and to address this, 64-bit time_t values will be used to contain the number
-of seconds since 1970. This was completed in 5.99.7 by Christos (with no libc
-major bump - kudos and respect), and will be in 6.0.

-2. Better Kernel Module Support
--------------------------------
-
-Starting with 5.99.2, the kernel support for modules was enhanced by
-ad, and GENERIC was switched over to be a MODULAR kernel. Support
-from booting from modules, like ffs, was introduced at the same time.
-Some work has been done by Luke Mewburn in this area to define module
-locations and paths so that effective kernel development can be done
-using modules. Kernel modules have been moved out of base.tgz and a new
-modules.tgz has been created.

-------------------------------------------
-
-In NetBSD 5.99.15, some changes were made to split the namei() routine
-up into logical parts, so that changes can be made to the constituent
-parts in a less intrusive way. This is in the repository now, and will
-be in 6.0.

-Building on the namei() split which was introduced in 5.99.15 (see (5)
-above), further changes will be introduced: see the changes to namei
-outlined in Message-ID: <20080319053709.GB3951%netbsd.org@localhost> for more
-information. This will simplify the locking and behavior of namei()
-calls within the kernel to resolve path names within file systems.

-11. Multicast DNS and DNS Service Discovery
--------------------------------------------
-
-mDNSResponder (also known as mdnsd on some systems) is a daemon invoked
-at boot time to implement Multicast DNS and DNS Service Discovery. On Mac
-OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), mDNSResponder is also the system-wide Unicast
-DNS Resolver. Ty Sarna added support for mdnsd to NetBSD-current, and it
-will appear in NetBSD 6.0.
