It's one thing to state your opinion (which you've done), and another to support it. I don't mean to be rude, but it does take a bit more to get something moved into the base install. It can't just be more convenient to you, it has to improve the system for the entire user base of FreeBSD, or at least the majority of those users that express their opinion. > 2) A stable software raid implementation > To my knowledge, vinum is not very stable in 5.x. If you find problems with gvinum you can: 1) Bring attention to geom@ or open a PR 2) Submit patches in an email to geom@ or a PR for review/testing >=20 > 3) Java improvement > It seems that the development has been stopped after > JDK 1.3.1/1.4.2 for a long time. I don't know what you define as a long time, but jdk 1.5 was only recently released. I assume you didn't expect it to be ported before it was released. > Java performance in FreeBSD is not very good. Prove it. I'm sure java@ would be interested in seeing your proof and even more interested in seeing patches. >=20 > 4) Some nice ports are broken in 5.x > Like tripwire 2.3.1.2_3 Submit patches that fix the ports in question.
