I did not see the second message, since Earthlink has screwed up my "lambert.org" email forwarding which Primenet never screwed up in the 5 years before Earthlink bought their dialup customers from Global crossing (who acquired Primenet). As to the work itself, I have been avoiding it, since we have a new person at ClickArray whose "trial by fire" is building an updated "developer workstation release CDROM" based on the FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE plus our heavily modified kernel code, and our distribution package for our current release product (i.e. a CDROM that can be used to install engineering desktop machines, and can also be used as a "golden master" for the release engineering process). As soon as he has successfully been mentored through this process (which involves many local patches, some of which I posted to you, and which must be manually integrated, since the FreeBSD "add patches during ``make release''" doesn't work if you are patching the top level release Makefile), I will be able to turn my attention to it without stepping on his toes or his learning process. Thanks for the copy of the email I missed, and thanks for your patience until the release work in progress has been completed (new FreeBSD hackers have to come from somewhere, after all). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
