Any ideas when the UBC stuff will get integrated into their next -stable? For example, I've been studiously avoiding doing anything with FreeBSD-current, because I know that I don't have the time and talent necessary to be able to make that work, or to be able to deal with the problems that may result. I'd hate to be forced to go with NetBSD-current just to get something like UBC (although I'm not convinced that I'd need it or be able to make much use of it, for the kinds of applications I have in mind). -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
