We're not going to expose the network protocol. For two reasons: - it works really well (we're proud of this) - it is really ugly (we're not proud of this :)
A read only client isn't read only, it has to be read/write to update the out of date copy.
Believe me, if there was an easy way to give away a version that was not a problem we would have long since done that. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
