I doubt you or any k00l d00d kernel hak0rs will step away from kernel development. My attempts to find anyone that wants to help maintain these contrib bits (and have the skills) have turned up zilch. Sorry you feel I am holding the project to ransom. But dealing with a 3 month old cycle of breakages just isn't in the least bit fun or even mildly enjoyable. Of course you mentioned you gave your Alpha away, so I know you aren't even trying to run FreeBSD on multiple platforms. So maybe you should keep that in mind when seeing the frustration of those that do. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
