Let's do it. How about networked ddb/gdb over {ether,ppp,usb,firewire,IrDA}? Firewire and IrDA are works in progress AFAIK, but certainly ddb/gdb networked debugging is what all FreeBSD dream of, right? :) The PPC port would greatly benefit from this, as newer Apple stations do not even have a serial port. Darwin seems to have networked debugging. -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | keichii@peorth.iteration.net | keichii@bsdconspiracy.net | | http://peorth.iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
