See http://www.freebsd.org/~terry/#COMMITS. Julian has recently commited changes that Jeremey Allison made (and that I contributed to) to make pthreads work. I am also getting feedback on the stuff I've posted. > Why don't you ask for commit-privs to a separate CVS repository as I > suggested a few times.

I've been ripping my patches into tiny piece that can be understood by the average dolt instead of the average engineer, and so far I seem to be making progress. I'm optimistic. If nothing else, BSDI will be committing my NFS locking patches. > You might want to talk to dyson, dg, phk and others who are likely to make > large changes in current that effect your code for timing considerations. I had dinner with Dyson and McKusick last Thursday. 8-). And PHK is the guy who committed my "l_hotchar" stuff. You just need to be patient for these things; if nothing else, I will outlive the nay-sayers...
