Re: [MirageOS-devel] Irmin on BLOCK

[Rupert Horlick <rh572@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm, it seems like that is built on top of a few packages that don't exist any more to interface between Baardskeerder and Mirage.

Do you think it's worth doing a simple B-Tree implementation myself, or would it be better to try and build a new interface module for Mirage and Baardskeerder?

A B-Tree implementation would certainly be good for the project write-up, but let me know what you think.

Simple and in-memory is (surely!) still good to start with though!

There may be most of such a thing already I think -- Chris Greenhalgh
at Nottingham lashed something up a while ago based on Baardskeerder,
see https://github.com/cgreenhalgh/ocaml-btree (though based on a much
much earlier version of Mirage :)
