Well, I am not a developer, so I can just speculate... earlier they had a FreeBSD 4.0 test box, but most probably they stumbled upon some C++ problem with our compiler and simply gave up. Later they brought in an old 2.2.8 box, but that also was relegated to Mozilla-Test. I guess they tried that because Netscape also uses a.out for their commercial branch on FreeBSD. But later that one also disappeared. Now, the fun part is that they are not using OpenBSD 2.8 for tests either, but, for some weird reason stick to 2.5. I am not sure in what condition the C++ compiler was at that time. Maybe they do not know whom to contact in the BSD world if things break? -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szeged University Szeged Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
