Hey everyone, I have been working on the project for the past two weeks and would love to share my update here as well.
My first task is to create an empty file system module and test the same on fs_shell. As fs_shell provides an interface to build and test the file system in a commandline tool, it will be easier to test the file system module.
I made an XFS image file using the following commands:

This is my first progress report. Following are the things I did in last couple of weeks:
- Set up the Environment.
- Started on Dynamic Tracker Menu.
- Had a nice chat with my mentor Stippi.
- Learnt how to build Haiku on Haiku. Especially, building and running the Tracker module.
- Faced few difficulties in Dynamic Tracker Menu. Solved them with some help.
Dynamic Tracker Menu lets addon add items to the popup menu of Tracker based on the files selected. I was able to implement this in Haiku. A small example of this can be seen in above image.
Hey folks! here’s the updates of past two weeks on the project!
I have cloned the latest haiku source and built the image file. With the generated image file I have emulated sdhci-pci device successfully. Following are the instructions to be followed:
Cloning the source code
git clone https://github.com/haiku/haiku.git
git clone https://github.com/haiku/buildtools.git
Compiling Source Code
Create a directory where you are going to save the build image and related files
Welcome to the fourth monthly report for 2018!

32/64 bit hybrid support
Let's start with the most exciting developments this month: Korli started
work on a 32/64 bit hybrid. The idea is to run a 64bit system, but allow 32bit
applications to run on it. While we are just at the very first steps, it is a
good thing that this is being worked on, as it will allow us to move more
smoothly towards 64bit support.
Hello everyone! My name is Abhinand and I am really happy to say that I am one of the people who has been selected for GSoC 2018. And more importantly, I will be working on adding support for XFS. If you would like to ask something to me/track my progress, I have added the contact links at the bottom of this page.
I would like to begin with a short introduction about me and the work that I did so far. I am a computer science undergraduate student from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, in India. I am active member of FOSS@Amrita, an open source community in the college, through which I got to know about Haiku. I came across the project list in Haiku while I was searching for a project to do this summer. I got interested in two of the listed projects and starting writing proposal for the same. I started reading documents related to XFS, B+Tree, and Haiku file system modules and wrote a proposal with my understanding of the project. Afterwards, I was trying to explore the BFS codebase, as it uses B+Tree to store data. I came to know that BFS uses B+Tree to store data and this implementation can be used for XFS as well. Also, I was trying to understand how the file system uses Haiku file system modules and was able to get an idea of the classes needed for the file system.
Hello everyone! I am B Krishnan Iyer(irc: krish-iyer, telegram: krish_iyer trac: krish_iyer, github: krish-iyer), currently pursuing bachelor's in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Amrita University. I am one of the three GSoC participants with Haiku. I am greatful to everyone for accepting me as an intern. This summer I will be developing SDHCI MMC driver.
About Me
My area of interest lies in Embedded system, apart from academics, I work on developing drivers for microcontrollers. I have also worked with different single board computers such as Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone and single board microcontrollers like Arduino(Atmega328P and ATmega2560), TI’s Launchpad(MSP430). Currently, I am developing drivers for ARM-Cortex M4 based boards to communicate to different sensors over different communication protocols(USART, I2C and SPI).
Hie, I’m Hrishikesh Hiraskar (IRC/Trac/Github: hrily) from India. I will be working on TrackGit, a git addon for Git version control for Tracker under GSoC 2018.
I’m really excited to be a part of Haiku community and for doing this project.
I’m currently doing my B.Tech. in Computer Engineering at National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal. You can find more information about me on my website or my blog.
About TrackGit
The proposed project focuses on implementing an Addon for Tracker to support the Git version control system. The following are the requirements from the Addon:
Welcome to the third monthly report for 2018!
This report covers hrev51833-hrev51872.
System
Hrishi Hiraskar (one of our GSoC applicants) reworked the management of the shutdown phase. This
revolves around both launch daemon and the BRoster, which collaborate together to coordinate
system shutdown. Things must happen in a specific order to make sure all apps are properly terminated
(leaving the user a chance to save his work if not done yet), and only then, system servers are
stopped. There were some problemw with the existing implementation where it would be possible to
start an application while another one was waiting for a save, and it could eventually lead to
loss of work (a little unlikely, but still). We now have a better shutdown process which will make
sure everything happens in the correct order.

Infrastructure
There is a lot of invisible work in progress on getting the Haiku infrastructure
migrated to a new server and streamlined to use containers and standardized setup.
This will eventually allow to better share the work of system administration in
a larger team, allowing to scale up the infrastructure.
Part of this work is updating our Pootle install, which will soon have a new
version up in production.

Switch to Gerrit
The Haiku git repository is now running Gerrit. Gerrit is a tool designed
to help with code reviews. The idea is to review the code before it is integrated
in nightly builds, instead of reviewing after the fact as it was done for Haiku
until now.
This should make it easier to track pending patches, and increase the stability
of the nightly builds and development branch.
