Sounds like he's planning > to do it the week of March 1st. I'm currently still working on a sparc package build for the libpthread changes. When that is finished (probably later this week) I could attempt an upgrade of the sparc package machines and start on a 64-bit time package set to see what kind of impact it has, and allow for an easier transition so that users don't have to recompile all their ports. However, I won't be able to get that finished before March 1.
