However, Coda is currently only supported on FreeBSD-2.2.stuff, as when we were deciding on the FreeBSD version to develop under, 3.0 was pretty unstable. We didn't want our instabilities conflicting with the 3.0 instabilities :), leading to an even harder time debugging. Coda is rapidly stabilizing -- we hope to have a stable base version capable of real use in real environments in 6-12 months; at this point it still has bugs in a number of places, and is not still really appropriate outside of experimental environments. I pick up my new Coda notebook on Thursday at the end of a DARPA PI meeting, install -CURRENT that evening, and hopefully get working on it next week. Bob Baron <rvb@cs.cmu.edu> is currently largely responsible for the BSD versions of Coda, and has looked at some of the issues involved in -CURRENT.
