["Philippe Houdoin" <philippe.houdoin@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Here my suggestion for the new place of net_kit stuffs in the /current 
tree.

Please give it a look, at least for planed directories names and 
places, as
you all know how it's hard to get rid of bad named/placed directories 
in a
CVS repository.
Some part of /net_kit was already moved to /current, BTW.

Another point ins this move is our current Makefiles are hugely 
dependant on
relative source tree, so we need to write Jamfiles to replace them 
anyway 
with the move (why waste time to fix current Makefiles !?)

a) /net_kit/docs/

  * -> /current/dpcs/develop/net/*

  Already made since 6 weeks now.

b) /net_kit/source/apps/

  arp/*   -> /current/src/apps/arp/*
  ifconfig/* -> /current/src/apps/ifconfig/*
  ping/* -> /current/src/apps/ping/* 
  route/* -> /current/src/apps/route/*
  traceroute/* -> /current/src/apps/traceroute/* 
  ppp/* -> /current/src/apps/pppconfig/*

  I suggest we rename into "pppconfig" to escape possible 
  confusion with the "ppp" protocol module below...

  * -> /current/src/tests/kits/net/*

  With the exception of "ppp" directory, these moves was already made 
  since 6 weeks now.

c) /net_kit/source/driver/

  net_stack_driver.c ->
    /current/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/net/stack/net_stack_driver.c
  net_userstack_driver.c ->
    /current/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/net/stack/
net_userstack_driver.c
  Makefile -> /current/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/net/stack/Makefile
  net_stack_driver.h -> /current/headers/private/net/net_stack_driver.h

d) /net_kit/source/libnet/

  * -> /current/src/kits/net/*

  Or do we need to have one sub-directory for libnet.so, one for 
  our future libnetapi.so implementation, etc ? I'm not sure 
  (please anyone correct me!) but can't we build all (even BNet* 
  classes) in one single libnet.so and "fake" libnetapi.so by a 
  symlink targetting libnet.so? 
  The image loader of both BeOS and OBOS traverse paths, 
  but what the ELF library resolver? Did it check the loaded 
  library name against the one in the ELF table?
  I'll like having a single libnet.so, it's more BeOS old time-way 
  of doing (one kit, one library).

e) /net_kit/source/server/ (misnamed directory now)

  userland_ipc.c -> /current/src/servers/net/userland_ipc.c
  userland_server.c -> /current/src/servers/net/userland_server.c
  
  net_server/* -> /current/src/add-ons/kernel/network/core/*

  arp/* -> /current/src/add-ons/kernel/network/protocols/arp/*
  icmp/* -> /current/src/add-ons/kernel/network/protocols/icmp/*
  ipv4/* -> /current/src/add-ons/kernel/network/protocols/ipv4/*
  raw/* -> /current/src/add-ons/kernel/network/protocols/raw/*
  route/* -> /current/src/add-ons/kernel/network/protocols/route/*
  tcp/* -> /current/src/add-ons/kernel/network/protocols/tcp/*
  udp/* -> /current/src/add-ons/kernel/network/protocols/udp/*

  ethernet/* ->  /current/src/add-ons/kernel/network/interfaces/
ethernet/*
  loop/* -> /current/src/add-ons/kernel/network/interfaces/loopback/*

  For PPP modules, I'm not sure to have a good overview of what ppp sub
-module 
  do what so it's difficult. However, based on what I've understand so 
far :

  ppp/* -> /current/src/add-ons/kernel/network/protocols/ppp/*
  ppp/serial_ppp/* -> /current/src/add-ons/kernel/network/interfaces/
serial_ppp/*

  test/* ->  /current/src/tests/kits/net/* ?

  Obsoleted:
  net_srv.c by userland_*.c I guess
  bin/* by userland_*.c, too
  serial_ppp/* by ppp/serial_ppp/*

  /net_kit/source/server/include/* :  

  Include files was already moved (but some needs to be updated 
however) in 
  /current/headers/private/net/ or /current/headers/posix/. 
  We may should in the future reconsider how to dispatch them between 
  "private", "os" and "posix" kind, but I guess we can say we don't 
care yet about this.
  I suggest this because I'm a little lost between posix'ish ones and 
specifics (but private?) 
  ones.

So, what do you think?

-Philippe
