Recently I have found, and fixed, a number of bugs in the DECnet for Linux kernel module.
Some of
these bugs may be relevant for members of this mailing list who are using DECnet for
Linux,
especially on a Raspberry Pi.
I've spent a bit of time with John's latest code to see how it works on other
platforms.
The answer is "quite nicely". I dropped his changed files into a Fedora Core 32
(the latest release, as of a couple of weeks ago anyway) sources, and built their 5.8.17
kernel with DECnet enabled, for 64-bit x86.
It works, no major problems seen. This is the endnode; I haven't tried a router yet.
Very nice.
