The current holdup on 4.x is simply a matter of the time it takes to do the testing. Hopefully soon. The hold up on 5.x is problems with the debug interface (see the list archives for several discussions on this). 5.x also currently has problems with the Server VM with gcc 3.4, but we have some patches that appear to fix that, they just need a little more testing. > * what other java related plans are in FreeBSD World domination! Maybe if you could be more specific about what sort of plans you're interested in... :). > * if thereare obvious concrete ways somebody could help Someone could find out why jdb blows up on 5.x and submit a patch to fix it. > * what these ways would be See above. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
