Near future is apparently "once Peter &| David have the time." First on the list of priorities is getting 32-bit FreeBSD binaries to work. This is apparently close, but no cigar (and I might add that even 64-bit with threading is now very rough again). Getting Linux stuff to work is still much farther off. > As a side note, if or when can one use cvsup on 5.2 for AMD64 > (eg via "pkg_add" or "make package)? > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 Fetch cvsup from Peter's page (I think it is) .. it was mentioned a few days ago. Take a look at the list archives at that URL above. Then you will know (and have a cvsup-with-no-gui and no compression). -- Adriaan de Groot adridg@cs.kun.nl Kamer A6020 024-3652272 GPG Key Fingerprint 934E 31AA 80A7 723F 54F9 50ED 76AC EE01 FEA2 A3FE http://www.cs.kun.nl/~adridg/research/
