I thought the 2.2/3.0 split happened in order to allow the back- integration of the SMP stuff into the regular tree. However, i haven't seen any sign of this by now... The reason i'm asking: by end of february, the German Unix Users Group (GUUG) holds its annual Spring Meeting (Fruehjahrs-Workshop), which is basically a very technically-oriented meeting. As in last year, they plan to distribute the proceedings in electronic form on a CD-ROM. Again as in last year, there's plenty of space on this CD available, and we've got the opportunity to stuff some FreeBSD tree onto it. I would like to put an experimental snapshot there. While i could put a close-to-2.2R (or actual 2.2R) there (with only some tweaks to allow installing it off the directory /FreeBSD on the CD), it's a little pointless to duplicate something that's also available publically. So i think putting a FreeBSD/SMP there would make more sense, provided the system is basically usable and could serve as an experimental base for more than just a dozen developers. Btw., i've got a designated FreeBSD track there, and are currently hectically collecting volunteers for papers... the GUUG meisters have allocated and announced the FreeBSD workshop, but apparently with nothing else in their back than my submission. :-/ But so far, it doesn't look bad, i've got a few `Aye's already. I hope i will also be able to convince the BISDN folks and Stefan Esser... Jordan, can you get me 10 2.1.6 CD's for this even, too? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
