Hi Haiku mentors,
Akshai Jaggi offered to work on a contract paid by Haiku, inc to improve
our USB3 support. He
worked on porting libusb to Haiku during GSoC 2014, and contributed some
patches to our USB stack
back then. However, since most of his work went on the libusb side of
things, he didn't get commit
access to Haiku yet.
This means someone would have to review his work and get things merged to
our git repos. Haiku, inc
is not willing to put money on the contract unless someone commits to doing
this (essentially the
same as mentoring a GSoC student). I would do it, but I'm currently moving
to a new house which
takes quite a lot of time and I don't have enough Haiku time for mentoring.
Would someone else be
willing to be a mentor for this?
Please tell Haiku, inc if you are interested in this.
I can mentor him. Lets get the USB 3 contract rolling already.
I know it's a bit late, but I'd like the USB 3 contract to be
reconsidered or suspended.
Let me explain: First I investigated this week the XHCI driver
problems I met on a target controller, the processing of completed
transfer events isn't implemented yet. Investing some more time, an
improvement patch could be delivered before the end of the week.
Then after looking again at the contract technical proposal, I'm not
convinced this is what Haiku needs, ie the lack of specific goals to
achieve, the general wording. Sure there are tons of things missing or
to be fixed, but to me this isn't a good use of our funds (and
mentoring time in the case of Alexander).
