Due to problems with 'select' bugs and the demo directory being all
screwed up, I just re-rolled the JDK1.1.7 A.OUT release. Hopefully this
should allow folks to again run Java programs under FreeBSD 2.*.
The FreeBSD port has been upgraded to use the new release, so if you've
installed the old (broken) release, please upgrade your port, pkg_delete
the old one, and build the new one.
Sorry about the hassle!
Project Status report:
----------------------
Progress on JDK1.2 is happening slowly. Hopefully things will pickup
when the Linux folks release their diffs to the public.
There are plans to build a JDK1.1.8 release for FreeBSD, but the has not
been received from any member as the binaries were just released by Sun.
Finally, in all cases we plan on supporting both A.OUT and ELF releases
for all new builds, but they may not occur at exactly the same time.

JAVA-JDK:
Thanks to Steve Price, we now have a version of JDK1.1.7 that supports
the 3.X/4.X users natively. The ELF releases requires an updated
real-time loader which has additional functionality added on 1999/3/24.
An updated 'ld-elf.so.1' binary is provided on the WWW page.

Berkeley, California (April 27, 1999)
USENIX is providing grants to the OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and Debian
Linux development projects, to support each of them in issuing new
releases. These releases will be given free of charge to all 1999 Annual
Conference technical session registrants. The 1999 Annual Conference takes
place June 6-11, in Monterey, California. Programs for the tutorial and
technical sessions, including the FREENIX track, and associated events are
online. Please go to http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix99
USENIX is helping to ensure the development process for open source
software will be characterized by intense yet healthy competition. The
FREENIX track at the annual conference is also part of this effort. It is
devoted to high level technical discussion of open source software. FREENIX
offers peer-refereed papers, expert talks, and evening sessions led by the
likes of Linus Torvalds, Kirk McKusick, Theodore Ts'o, Theo de Raadt, and
other leading developers.
The conference keynote is by John Ousterhout, creator of Tcl/Tk and leading
figure in the open source world. His attention will be on a fundamental
shift in software development to integration applications - created by
coordinating and extending existing applications, protocols, frameworks,
and devices.
Refereed papers at the conference are on topics of especially high
interest: management of resource systems, file systems, virtual memory
systems, storage systems, security, web server performance and O/S
performance. The Invited talks concentrate on the extremely practical;
topics include: UNIX/Open System & Y2K, IP Multicast, E-mail Bombs, IPv6,
IP Telephony.
24 tutorials are being offered over three days, with Eric Allman, Tom
Christiansen, Peter Galvin, Evi Nemeth, and Marcus Ranum among the
instructors. Courses range over systems administration, security, Linux,
high availability, kernel internals, Perl, performance tuning, network
programming and configuration, and more.
Within the conference, USENIX is sponsoring the Second Extreme Linux
Workshop which will concentrate on issues of supercomputer-class and
graphics systems created with off-the-shelf computers combined with high
speed networking, and glued together with Linux. The workshop has very
limited seating and attendance requires early registration. A related
tutorial on how to build, program and administer a Beowulf system using
Linux OS is being offered by members of the Caltech staff and there will be
evening BoFs on Extreme Linux systems, where vendors (Extreme Linux
hardware and software) will be encouraged to display their systems.
And, as always at the annual conference, there's lots of discussion in the
halls and over beers. This year the Conference is capped by the Reception
featuring lucious desserts served in the fantastic Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Subject: FreeBSD toolkit now shipping from Walnut Creek CDROM
Date: Sat, 01 May 1999 02:44:22 -0700
Message-ID: <97428.925551862@zippy.cdrom.com>

I'm quite pleased to announce that our first 6 CD toolkit for FreeBSD
is now available and shipping from Walnut Creek CDROM. Since this is
a special product, it won't be sent automatically to people on
subscription plans and needs to be ordered separately. The cost for
this product is $39.95, please see:
http://www.cdrom.com/titles/freebsd/bsdtool.phtml
for ordering information (note: the site still notes the release date
as "TBA" and can be ignored in that respect; I've sent an update
request in to the web maintainer).
The FreeBSD toolkit contains the latest binary "snapshot" releases of
2.2-stable, 3.1-stable and 4.0-current as of March 27th, 1999. It
also contains a full 4.0 snapshot for the Alpha platform which is
considerably more stable (and installable) than the 3.1-RELEASE for
that architecture.
In addition to the snapshots, the latest 2.2.x packages and some 3.1
packages (all material released after 2.2.8/3.1) are included as well
as the most up-to-date distfiles for the ports collection, applying to
all brancies. The CVS repository on the toolkit is also "live" in
fully unpacked format and can be used directly from the CD by
following the provided instructions for using read-only repositories.
Finally, the most up-to-date XFree86 3.3.3.1 (containing patches for
3DLabs cards, among other fixes) is also included, along with the
latest documentation and www.freebsd.org information. This product is
aimed at the FreeBSD developer and power user and will be produced
fairly regularly from now on (2-3 times a year).
