It's not _that_ difficult for someone who understands the code and the differences. I wish I had time but I'm working on the KSE stuff. If I did have the time, I'd try to change -current so that it would work in -stable with just a couple of #ifdefs. Notable differences between -current and -stable: o system calls are _thread_sys_* in -stable and __sys_* in -current. The threads library could always use __SYS_* or something and conditionally define these to be the right thing depending on whether it was -stable or -current. o -current doesn't include libc, so there may be some differences due to that (cancellation points and weak definitions might have to be changed/removed for -stable). -- Dan Eischen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
