The last post I saw from DG on this topic he said that 90% (more?) of the stuff he has done for wcarchive is in 3.2-Stable now. The rest is of extremely limited interest, would be harder to document than it was to write, and would result in hordes of questions from foolish people who shot themselves in the foot with it even after being told not to use it if they don't understand it. The above is my paraphrase of my current understanding of the situation, so don't hold DG accountable for it. :) This next is purely my commentary on the question itself. The guy makes his living (or part of it anyway) designing high performance systems for people. I don't blame him one little bit if he wants to "hold back" some of what gives him an edge in *highly* competetive field. He's certainly done a WHOLE LOT for the project, much of which the average user never sees, and even more than I am aware of I'm sure. In short, give the guy a break. :) Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
