I personally think that: o I want to incorporate PAO package into -currnet gradually. For example, I think "shutdown -x" hack, sn driver, etc. are easily incorporated into -current. o pccard stuff is very premature when I started working on it, but currently, it evolved and it should be developed in open fashion. (and I want to concentrate upon more premature stuff like I18N sysinstall, new config system, CardBus support, etc.) o Of course I'm planning to move to 3.0-current. I'm working on 2.2 because I want to advertise FreeBSD to Japanese market (about half of PC's in Japan is laptop), and I have only one laptop for develpment. I got a new laptop (Toshiba Libretto 50 CT US version) last week and I'm planning to install 3.0 to the old one. I have ten days vacation from next week (sorry, I'll be away from net for a week because of it), and I want to work on incorporating part of PAO stuff to 3.0-current in this vacation. -- HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi [Network Technology Center, Keio University] hosokawa@ntc.keio.ac.jp hosokawa@jp.FreeBSD.org
