I know the feeling. The ports I made for the Linux emulator weren't finished on time for R3.1. They are finished now and (of course) I like to see them included in a next release. That, and the patches of Luoqi Chen, would further improve (IMO) Linux emulation as a whole and enable FreeBSD to continue to benefit from Linux' momentum (...) So, yes, a 3.2 release soon would be good strategic move, but not without at least the patches of Luoqi Chen. The inclusion of my ports in the next release (which of course I definitely like to see included) is somewhat less important. Whether May 1st is feasable, depends on whether the patches (and ports) are fit for inclusion before that time (ignoring all other release-related issues for a moment) while leaving enough time to solve any unexpected problems. For as far as my knowledge goes, I would say they are both ready for inclusion now... BTW: What about a list of "supported" (commercial) Linux applications under FreeBSD, in the same way there is a list of supported hardware? marcel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
