<cfhammar> whats the difference between mach-defpager and defpager?
<cfhammar> i'm guessing defpager is a hurdish version that uses libstore
but was never finished or something
<cfhammar> found an interesting thread about it:
http://mirror.libre.fm/hurd/list/msg01232.html
<slpz> antrik: an interesting thread, indeed :-)
<pochu> slpz: btw is mach-defpager linked statically but not called
mach-defpager.static on purpose?
<slpz> antrik: also, I can confirm that mach-defpager needs a complete
rewrite ;-)
<slpz> pochu: I think the original defpager was launched by serverboot
<slpz> pochu: that could be the reason to have it static, like ext2fs
<slpz> and since there's no need to execute it again during the normal
operation of the system, they probably decided to not create a
dynamically linked version
<slpz> (but I'm just guessing)
<slpz> of perhaps they wanted to prevent mach-defpager from the need of
reading libraries, since it's used when memory is really scarce (guessing
again)
