Again, you appear to be intentionally misconstruing or ignoring what I've said in earlier messages. I'm afraid that I can't take the time to educate you about strategies and tactics if you simply can't (or won't) get it. >But these market forces will probably still not be strong enough to >produce native ports. Yet again you ignore what I've written. If developers see a common API and ABI which lets them develop for all of the many Linux distros AND FreeBSD, they will jump at the chance to use it. The rest of your message makes the same mistakes. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
