Compare to Kernel Categorization -- 1 foil from 2008.

attempt 1

Think of these as “slices through the layers of code”.

  • boot
  • kernel
  • libraries
  • filesystems
  • networking
  • toolchain
  • storage controller
  • hardware-specific
  • architecture-specific

attempt 2

Think of these as “slices through functionality.”

  • acpi
  • audit
  • capsicum
  • dtrace
  • efi (possibly under boot?)
  • emulation
    • linux
  • firewall
    • ipfilter
    • ipfw
    • pf
  • geom
  • jails
  • multimedia (or just human-interface?)
  • power
  • rc
  • suspend/resume
  • usb
  • virtualization
    • aws
    • bhyve
    • hyper-v
    • vbox
    • xen

attempt 3

  • libraries
  • toolchain
  • virtualization
  • framework (makefile glop etc.)
    • possibly “endoskeleton” ?
    • make, awk, and other invocations
    • compiler/linker flags

These are sometimes in conf, misc, …

  • booting issues
  • keymaps
  • fonts (non-X11)
  • periodic
  • devfs
  • rc
  • uefi
  • install
  • update
  • build failures
  • image building
    • release.sh
    • nanobsd
    • pkgbase
  • headers
  • suspend/resume
  • kbd/mouse/touchpad (assign to multimedia@?)
  • audit
  • capsicum
  • crypto
  • cam
  • acpi
  • fusefs
  • firewalls
  • vnet
  • dtrace

Note: there is a bluetooth@. Should there be???
