Well, people have taken on the SMPng bits and that project appears to be progressing nicely. Nobody has taken on the SPARC bits, however, and I can only point out that lack of reference SPARC bits from another BSD implementation has never been the problem here. We've had both NetBSD and OpenBSD to serve that purpose for a long time but nobody who actually wanted to do the work step forward and do it. You've been around this biz long enough to know that bits never "just arrive", they have to be carried in on a stretcher and sent straight to triage. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
