I The FreeBSD project seems to be malfunctioning and headed into possible popularity, but which seems irrelevant. The Dragonfly BSD project seems to be a more fitting target for comp.lang.ada. It does not matter whether the FreeBSD Ada "Port" is usable or not if the incopatibility with the persons at FreeBSD is too much. ... >There are no direct technical problems just a lack of manpower. The FreeBSD Foundation now needs much more cash, and needs to ferry SD-people to meetings/conferences, and professes to find Sun Microsystems Java to very important deb Goodman and the chiefs: http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml I cna't decided if it is more consistent with FreeBSD being grabbed by IBM when they get around to it, than by Sun, or reverse. > Maybe you can help - try to download and play with my port than share >your experience (beware, it doesn't deinstall). (Merely delete directories to uninstall; unless deleting the whole OS). Dragonfly has the primitive OpenBSD DOS partition set up, and it can't read UFS2 filesystems. Dragonfly uses the NetBSD port system now; and it seems to be a plausible direction to remove the FreeBSD Ports. The designer of Cvsup (Mr Polstra) is inside of the JavaBSD Foundation (What is the "D" in "BSD". I wonder if IBM staff can remember what the "D" is for?. It could be changed to "A"; an Ada OS). I see that Vim 7 is bad with the "vim -o *" command. ++ Craig Carey
