Go ahead and close the request.  The community seemed to prefer Github :/

Thanks,
Eric

Hello,

Are you still interested in the submission of project
'libhugetlbfs' ?
If within two weeks there is no reply, this submission request will be
closed.

You will still be able to register the project again once you have the time
to deal with the registration issues.

regards,
- assaf

Hello,

Thank you for submitting a new project to host on GNU savannah.

To comply with the savannah hosing requirements, all source code files must have a clear copyright statement and license notice:
http://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php
http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/HowToGetYourProjectApprovedQuickly/

Please add a copyright statement and a license notice to all source code files, for example, the following files are missing this information:

  Makefile
  ld.hugetlbfs
  ldscripts/*
  man/*
  mktarball
  tests/*

For small files, you might prefer to use the GNU all-permissive license:
http://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/License-Notices-for-Other-Files.html

There are few files that have a copyright statement (by IBM and RedHat), but do not have a license - please add an explicit license to them. For example:
  huge_page_setup_helper.py
  oprofile_start.sh
  sys-elf64_s390.S
  sys-elf_s390.S
When adding a license, please ensure it is compatible with future versions of GPL - "LGPL2.1" is fine, and "GPL 2/3 or later" is fine - but "GPLv2 only" is not.

Few other files have LGPLv2.1 license, but no copyright statement, example:
  tests/shm-perms.c
  tests/shmoverride_unlinked.c
Please add a copyright statement to all files.

In few files (e.g. oprofile_map_events.pl) the indented copyright statement appears as:
   (c) Mel Gorman 2008
It is highly recommended to use the canonical form:
   Copyright (C) YEAR AUTHOR


Pleas upload an updated archive to continue the submission process.

regards,
 - assaf

Registration Details


  • Name: libhugetlbfs
  • System Name:  libhugetlbfs
  • Type: non-GNU software and documentation
  • License: GNU Lesser General Public License





Description:

libhugetlbfs is a library which provides easy access to huge pages of memory. It is a wrapper for the hugetlbfs file system. Applications can use huge pages to fulfill malloc() requests without being recompiled by using LD_PRELOAD. Alternatively, applications can be linked against libhugetlbfs without source modifications to load text or BSS or BSS, data, and text segments into large pages. The library also comes with several userspace tools to help with huge page usability, environment setup, and control.


Other Software Required:

The linux kernel GPLv2 kernel.org
GNU C library


Tarball URL:
