The libh project is promising but suffers from a lack of volunteers, volunteers who aren't working on sysinstall either so I'm not worried about it somehow sucking the necessary time and attention away from libh. Hacking on sysinstall I18N in -current gives the developers the current.freebsd.org snapshot machine as a testing vehicle (why should the SMP people get all the benefit?) and is entirely reasonable as a staging area for -stable, which is also what -current is supposed to be. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
