You really *need* to be there, especially right now, when current is in a great deal of flux. There is a lot of discussion going on in that list, and I don't think it's good to duplicate that in the freebsd-hackers discussion (because hackers includes a lot of people who really have no interest in "current" until it becomes "stable"). The discussions in "current" would benefit from any specific bug reports you have to offer, if you're really available to help shake out the recent changes. disclaimer: I'm more of an onlooker to freebsd than a real contributor, but I suspect the real contributors are pretty busy right now... :-) For what it's worth, I have a snapshot of 3.0 before the great ELF and CAM switchovers and it is working quite fine on a dual-PPro system. I do know that both the ELM and CAM switchovers have caused some problems which are still being ironed out. While a number of people are operating with frazzled nerves right now, I (for one) am still pretty encouraged with the way things seem to be going. It's not "there" yet, but it's coming along and many people are working hard on tracking down the remaining problems. --- 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-hackers" in the body of the message
