I'm reading this thread backwards (how I've got elm set up :) so I've already answered from 'later' in the thread, but I'll try make it clear.. CAP is the person that will (note 'will', not 'did') feed thread changes into NetBSD libc. we are actively working with him on this and it may be that FreeBSD get's them first.. either way you look at it, FreeBSD is not 'duplicating NetBSD's work' we are using the same source.. > > > >> My understanding of the way things are: > > >> > > >> NetBSD "thread environment" = CAP's pthreads code including CAP's > > >> thread safe libc. > > >> > > >> FreeBSD "thread environment" = CAP's pthreads code including CAP's > > >> thread safe libc. > > > > > > Your understanding is incorrect according to Julian's post under this > > > same subject. > > > > Not it's not!

This discussion includes Julian. Threads support in 2.2 will start out as Integral but optional.... at some stage the 'optional' will go away it's a race to see whether this happens before or after 2.2 is 'RELEASE'd but at the RELEASE of 2.2 it will definitly be Integrated.. > > I meant with regard to the NetBSD and FreeBSD sources both being based > on CAP's libc code. As CAP is doing both, I guess we;ll get the same patches.. :) > > julian
