I'm considering setting up a cvs server for the sparc port, it seems the croud that has gathered (Eivind and yourself excluded, myself included :) ) don't exactly qualify for commit access to the main tree. I will be agressively testing code if any is done, meaning although it stinks, a sort of "batch process" of testing is possible and i will try to have minimal turnaround of one day for new code that is tested (although i work full time, i think i can do this) I think the people at my workplace won't mind me setting up a server to do this, however i will have to ask for permission. This means that freebsd-sparc will be a version freeze as of a few days from now if i can get this server up. Hopefully if anything comes of this a merge back into -current won't be too painful. -Alfred > > Greg > -- > See complete headers for address, home page and phone numbers > finger grog@lemis.com for PGP public key > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
