Thanks!
The kernel source is not a 'live' repository. Rather, it gets updated
from inside Apple on a (more or less) regular basis. The tricky part
for those on the outside is to determine what versions (based on CVS
tag) are worth building and trying out on a given installed system.
Your best bet to get a kernel that works with, say, 10.1.3, is to check
out tag Apple-201-19. It's possible that something like Apple-222 will
work, although I haven't tried it. In general, if you don't know that a
specific tag will work with your installed system, you are on thin ice
if you try it. That's not a reason to avoid it, but forewarned is I
forget just what...
Regarding your question about what work remains, Jim's message points
you in the right direction (check the bug list available at the darwin
website:
http://publicsource.apple.com/projects/bugs.html). Thinking
that there's no more work to do in the kernel is like thinking we have
solved the outstanding problems in particle physics.
Regards,
Justin
