Now, what is the perspective for seeing this in a FreeBSD release or at least on the -STABLE branch? Not so good, I'm afraid? Even if this integrated into -CURRENT (with SMPng), it probably won't be possible to easily backport it to -STABLE, and adding it to -STABLE without previous tests on -CURRENT won't be acceptable, I guess. So, will -STABLE users have to wait another year, for 5.0-RELEASE? (We'll see whether we'll be able to prevent a switch of our entire network to Linux during that year, if this is really true. :-( ) Gerald -- Gerald "Jerry" pfeifer@dbai.tuwien.ac.at http://www.dbai.tuwien.ac.at/~pfeifer/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
