Thanks for coming forward and being honest about it - as you say, it's better to do that than drag things out. I guess that sort of prompts the next question. Is there anyone wanting to take on the task of doing a Sparc port in Jason's place or can we simply retire this project from the rolls and quietly fold up the various references to it in the documentation? Better to simply bury it (even if temporarily) than raise false hopes if the project is well and truly without a motive force behind it. That much we've at least learned from (similar) experience. :) Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
