Hi:
This is what I know from the Sun website:
- 5.2 is a beta, it is not released S/W
- downloading 5.2 is only possible until the end of the month of
April.
- the license on 5.2 expires on June 1st (may not be the exact
date, but close enough)
I am only a FreeBSD user, but it would seem that given that the 5.2 beta
will only be available for very short time, and that the useful life of the
5.2 beta is at most a couple of months, it probably doesn't make a whole lot
of sense to make it a port. Maybe if it is *very* easy to modify the 5.1
port, then a port can be made, but I for one am not holding my breath.
5.2 is due to be released in the summer (sometime in June?).
John
