(Good news for FreeBSD 5 though I suppose). How lean is the FreeBSD Java team right now? Does this compromise the target of FreeBSD shipping a Sun-approved JVM at all? I think everyone would probably love to know more about the people behind the project here. Also I would like to know whether the JVM patchset releases are pretty much frozen because of the work around KSEs. I was hoping to see a more aggressive patchset release schedule (I would have expected us to be at 8 or 9 by now) ... but it seems like we're just dealing with the status quo until FreeBSD 5.0 ships. (That's my rough perception of it) Cheers, -- Dylan Carlson [absinthe@pobox.com] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
