'so long. : :-matt All I am saying here is that the BSDI SMP merge work will turn the MP build into a moving target for the next month at least, and it wouldn't be a very good use of time trying to keep the alpha build in sync for the MP build until after the API's have settled down. The SP build is another story... I expect those API's to settle down within a week. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
