My guess is that he will deliver it to DragonFly BSD, and it will then be up to someone with FreeBSD commit privs to look at steal^h^h^h^h^h^h adapting it for our purposes... Note that we are already in the code-freeze for 5.2-release, so I will estimate the probability that all this happens in time for this release is zero. Absolute zero. What might happen for 5.3-release is a different story, of course. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad_at_gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad_at_freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih_at_rpi.eduReceived on Tue Nov 25 2003 - 14:42:11 UTC
