Gsoc project 2026: Microshell Port

I understand that the maintainers have very limited time in their inventory but I think there might be some confusion here

  1. The MR has no relation to GSoC. I am trying to port microshell apart from my GSoC proposal as a separate thing to get a better understanding
  2. The primary reason for opening the MR (draft) was to ask questions while referencing the code itself. In the MR, I asked a few questions which directly refer to different parts of the code. Having that allows for better clarification in my opinion, since the reviewer can see the actual problem instead of me trying to explain it haphazardly

That being said, please let me know if this approach is not desirable

What Gedare said has not changed here. It’s better to open an issue and propose a change to discuss it there. In this case discuss it on the project issue.

Talking about it in an MR doesn’t make sense as most of the conversation would surround code that does not exist and reference already existing RTEMS code. Bringing in microshell itself would be the last step.

Understood, I will keep that in mind. Should I close the MR or keep it open?

I would suggest closing it, although most of us will just ignore it in draft state. It is much better to discuss the questions etc. either here or in the relevant issue, as Amar said. There is little value in us spending time looking at 4.5k LOC patches for work-in-progress to try to give guidance.
