Hopefully this should allow folks to again run Java programs under FreeBSD 2.*. The FreeBSD port has been upgraded to use the new release, so if you've installed the old (broken) release, please upgrade your port, pkg_delete the old one, and build the new one. Sorry about the hassle! Project Status report: ---------------------- Progress on JDK1.2 is happening slowly. Hopefully things will pickup when the Linux folks release their diffs to the public. There are plans to build a JDK1.1.8 release for FreeBSD, but the has not been received from any member as the binaries were just released by Sun. Finally, in all cases we plan on supporting both A.OUT and ELF releases for all new builds, but they may not occur at exactly the same time. - The Java Team This is the moderated mailing list freebsd-announce.

Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Berkeley, California (April 27, 1999) USENIX is providing grants to the OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and Debian Linux development projects, to support each of them in issuing new releases. These releases will be given free of charge to all 1999 Annual Conference technical session registrants. The 1999 Annual Conference takes place June 6-11, in Monterey, California. Programs for the tutorial and technical sessions, including the FREENIX track, and associated events are online. Please go to http://www.usenix.org/events/usenix99 USENIX is helping to ensure the development process for open source software will be characterized by intense yet healthy competition. The FREENIX track at the annual conference is also part of this effort. It is devoted to high level technical discussion of open source software. FREENIX offers peer-refereed papers, expert talks, and evening sessions led by the likes of Linus Torvalds, Kirk McKusick, Theodore Ts'o, Theo de Raadt, and other leading developers. The conference keynote is by John Ousterhout, creator of Tcl/Tk and leading figure in the open source world. His attention will be on a fundamental shift in software development to integration applications - created by coordinating and extending existing applications, protocols, frameworks, and devices. Refereed papers at the conference are on topics of especially high interest: management of resource systems, file systems, virtual memory systems, storage systems, security, web server performance and O/S performance. The Invited talks concentrate on the extremely practical; topics include: UNIX/Open System & Y2K, IP Multicast, E-mail Bombs, IPv6, IP Telephony. 24 tutorials are being offered over three days, with Eric Allman, Tom Christiansen, Peter Galvin, Evi Nemeth, and Marcus Ranum among the instructors. Courses range over systems administration, security, Linux, high availability, kernel internals, Perl, performance tuning, network programming and configuration, and more. Within the conference, USENIX is sponsoring the Second Extreme Linux Workshop which will concentrate on issues of supercomputer-class and graphics systems created with off-the-shelf computers combined with high speed networking, and glued together with Linux. The workshop has very limited seating and attendance requires early registration. A related tutorial on how to build, program and administer a Beowulf system using Linux OS is being offered by members of the Caltech staff and there will be evening BoFs on Extreme Linux systems, where vendors (Extreme Linux hardware and software) will be encouraged to display their systems. And, as always at the annual conference, there's lots of discussion in the halls and over beers. This year the Conference is capped by the Reception featuring lucious desserts served in the fantastic Monterey Bay Aquarium. This is the moderated mailing list freebsd-announce.

Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I'm quite pleased to announce that our first 6 CD toolkit for FreeBSD is now available and shipping from Walnut Creek CDROM. Since this is a special product, it won't be sent automatically to people on subscription plans and needs to be ordered separately. The cost for this product is $39.95, please see: http://www.cdrom.com/titles/freebsd/bsdtool.phtml for ordering information (note: the site still notes the release date as "TBA" and can be ignored in that respect; I've sent an update request in to the web maintainer). The FreeBSD toolkit contains the latest binary "snapshot" releases of 2.2-stable, 3.1-stable and 4.0-current as of March 27th, 1999. It also contains a full 4.0 snapshot for the Alpha platform which is considerably more stable (and installable) than the 3.1-RELEASE for that architecture. In addition to the snapshots, the latest 2.2.x packages and some 3.1 packages (all material released after 2.2.8/3.1) are included as well as the most up-to-date distfiles for the ports collection, applying to all brancies. The CVS repository on the toolkit is also "live" in fully unpacked format and can be used directly from the CD by following the provided instructions for using read-only repositories. Finally, the most up-to-date XFree86 3.3.3.1 (containing patches for 3DLabs cards, among other fixes) is also included, along with the latest documentation and www.freebsd.org information. This product is aimed at the FreeBSD developer and power user and will be produced fairly regularly from now on (2-3 times a year). - Jordan This is the moderated mailing list freebsd-announce.
