Gary is just saying it would be good for "the freebsd project" to put resources into something like the ultraSPARC port. Sun itself has lost it's active interest in such a port, so in that sense it is dead, but there's always the opportunity for someone else to work on it if they so desired. If you have the resources to work on it, I doubt that either Sun or the FreeBSD project would complain about the goal... :-) --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
