In message <19991128175305.B25118@unicorn.blackhats.org> The Unicorn writes: : Just wanted to know when the PAO code will be included into the "normal" : releases -RELEASE and -STABLE (in this case I am talking about FreeBSD : 3.3)? I use my Libretto 110CT quite often and am following FreeBSD : 3.3-STABLE with that system (and some others as well). But the PCCARD : support in -STABLE is not of the quality I have experienced when I had : FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE including the PAO support package running on that : system. :( : : And if the code will not be part of the "official release" can you then : tell me why not? : : Please include my email address in your response, since I am not : subscribed to the list... The short answer is that the FreeBSD project considers that PAO functionality to be very important for the FreeBSD project and would like to see it integrated as quickly as possible. However, a number of factors have slowed its integration. These include the language barrier, people having lives, the newconfig/newbus rift, the huge disruption that the NEWCARD is having on the -current source tree, the breakage I've done to the old pccard code to make it marginally work with newbus, the need to integrate into -current before -stable (as a general rule) and likely a number of other factors as well. When the newcard code is stable, I suspect that work will resume on marging the PAO code into normal FreeBSD where applicable.
