[SOLVED] Access to source code ?

[Knur]

Hello,

I did not find links or information to get access to the source code of this project.
I understand that some parts may not be open source (author's choice), but the linux kernels patches/modifications should be, as per the GPL license of the linux kernel...
Can someone point me in the right direction ? I'm specifically looking for the RT / native DSD kernel patches and/or configuration.

Many thanks

Yes, the kernel patch is open sourced. Just not revisioned on a public repo. When my grand plans of a new cloud server to handle user kernel compile requests comes to fruition, it'd be revisioned there.

Until then, here's the current patch. Note only the DSD kernel will apply this patch. Everything else is stock. For this to work, the USB module has to be compiled as a dynamic kernel module. That may or may not be ideal so it'll be something to improve on down the road. The idea is to devise a way for user to dynamically change the native DSD capability by power cycling the DAC (rather than reboot the PC).

To make Snakeoil even better we need more people to look deeper into the kernel code, as well as trying various options. Keeping this a secret is going against that grain. Eventually I'll gather enough Snakeoil supporters to fund up a server, then I have to write the system to make it easy for people to get their kernels.. The idea is:
An audiophile will

1. Go to a URL
   
2. Specify the kernel version he wants
   
3. Specify if this is for an upgrade kernel or an install kernel
   
4. Specify what CPU/NIC/etc they have
   
5. Specify other options, e.g. bridging, tunneling, IPv6, IO schedulers
   
6. Enter email, click submit
   
7. Request Goes to queue
   
8. Kernel is built
   
9. Email sent to user to download. If the request is an install kernel, there is an option to download the ISO
   
10. Download link will expire after X days of inactivity.
    
11. Until then, folks can download the pre-compiled kernels to experiment.
    
12. Configuration will be saved and called upon by everybody JIC.
    

And I strongly believe this will bring Snakeoil to another a level.

The backend will be gitlab (and runners) and nextcloud (file hosting). I will code up a frontend to link it all together. In reality this isn't hard to code.  Alas if only I am doing this full time.

To make Snakeoil even better we need more people to look deeper into the kernel code, as well as trying various options. Keeping this a secret is going against that grain. Eventually I'll gather enough Snakeoil supporters to fund up a server, then I have to write the system to make it easy for people to get their kernels.. The idea is:
An audiophile will

1. Go to a URL
   
2. Specify the kernel version he wants
   
3. Specify if this is for an upgrade kernel or an install kernel
   
4. Specify what CPU/NIC/etc they have
   
5. Specify other options, e.g. bridging, tunneling, IPv6, IO schedulers
   
6. Enter email, click submit
   
7. Request Goes to queue
   
8. Kernel is built
   
9. Email sent to user to download. If the request is an install kernel, there is an option to download the ISO
   
10. Download link will expire after X days of inactivity.
    
11. Until then, folks can download the pre-compiled kernels to experiment.
    
12. Configuration will be saved and called upon by everybody JIC.
    

And I strongly believe this will bring Snakeoil to another a level.

The backend will be gitlab (and runners) and nextcloud (file hosting). I will code up a frontend to link it all together. In reality this isn't hard to code.  Alas if only I am doing this full time.  

SALUTE!!!
