By now, newconfig people decided to continue its development until its dynamic configuration stuff works under FreeBSD, despite the decision to merge newbus into the main CVS repository You can see the implementation of dynamic configuration under newconfig, which means that you have one more chance to integrate newconfig stuff. I hope you have the flexibility to think seriously the integration of newconfig. Currently proposed schedule is on April 21 import sys4c990410 syncing and test around April 28 import PRE_NEWBUS Achievement is now announced in newconfig mailing list (newconfig@jp.freebsd.org, controlled by majordomo@jp.freebsd.org). Although most discussion are done in Japanese in newconfig-jp mailing list but any comment, suggestion, or question in English to newconfig@jp.freebsd.org will be appreciated. To make the communication more close, it is possible to post the achievements and plans to hackers or current.
