I don't know where you get your information, but clearly not from reading Apple's web pages, attending any recent presentations or viewing any of Steve Jobs' online keynotes. :-) 10.2, AKA Jaguar, was largely synced with FreeBSD 4.4 and has been widely proclaimed as far more compatible with same (and it hasn't hurt FreeBSD's PR any to have "FreeBSD 4.4" appear in big letters on Steve's keynote slides or in Apple's technotes). Sure, there are still some pieces which remain unsync'd due to time pressures and the fact that they weren't clearly stale enough to warrant attention until we'd already run out the clock for Jaguar, but the divergence was *significantly* reduced with Mac OS X 10.2 and it's everyone's intention to reduce it far further. I have "sync with FreeBSD 4.7" as my top priority for the next release. - Jordan On Sunday, September 29, 2002, at 11:53 AM, David O'Brien wrote: > On Sat, Sep 28, 2002 at 09:55:01PM -0700, Eric Melville wrote: >>>> Log: >>>> Add getopt_long(3). >>> >>> Why? >>> >>>> Sponsored by: Apple >>> >>> Apple actually tasked you with doing this? >> >> Absolutely.
