This repository contains a git mirror of NetBSD source code relevant to
2-
rump kernels. There are three basic branches (note, these branches
3-
have no overlap):

rump kernels. There are three basic, non-overlapping branches:

5-
* kernel-src: NetBSD sources necessary for building rump kernel components
6-
* user-src: selection of NetBSD userspace sources for appstacks on top of rump kernel (libs, utils)
7-
* posix-src: NetBSD sources for rump kernels on POSIX-y platforms

* kernel-src: rump kernel components and build tools
8+
* user-src: selection of NetBSD userspace sources for providing a POSIX-y interface _on top_ of a rump kernel
9+
* posix-src: support for running rump kernels _on_ POSIX-y platforms

For convenience, we provide "consumer-ready" merged branches:

For most projects, any of the above branches are not useful alone,

so we provide merged versions:

* buildrump-src: kernel+posix, what buildrump.sh wants in POSIX mode

* appstack-src: kernel+user, what you want for most appstacks (e.g. Xen)

* appstack-src: kernel+user, useful for e.g. unikernels

* all-src: kernel+user+posix
