At that time I jumped in to -current, and I really had a fine time with it. However, there is this continuous work of keeping up with "what-is-broken-today" and finding workarounds. Recently, e.g., there was some brokenness in fsck(8) and dump(8) which are both pretty vital to mee. So, since you a while ago stated you did your HotSpot work with a patched libc_r in -stable, I last weekend went back to 4.6-RELEASE (with the plan to continue on to -stable). It seems this was really bad timing, as you now prefer -current :-( ...and I have been waiting for HotSpot since sooooooo long. Do you think there will be a HotSpot patchset for -stable at all? Would you suggest that I come back to -current now? I did make a backup of my -current before I switched :-)))) -- Regards, Georg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
