NetBSD 0.9 has YP, and NetBSD-current has SunOS-like shared
libraries. Aren't you guys working on incorporating our code?
Is NetBSD becoming proprietary?
How much does a pound of tea cost in the northern regions of China?
1) What the *Hell* would that have to do with anything else going on
here?
2) Where did you get such a silly idea, and why are you confusing
people with it?
3) If someone wants to make a proprietary version of it, they are not
precluded from doing so (though they will have to deal with the GPL'd
software we use).
I think FreeBSD does now sport Paul Kranenburg's shared libraries
and Theo Deraadt's YP clients.
Certainly not in the `release' version, and last I knew (a few hours
ago) they had only begun to actually get their copy of the code
working.
Did NetBSD fix the wd driver yet?
No, but it's being worked on. It would probably happen faster if more
of us actually had IDE or ESDI disks; I personally only have SCSI (on
my 386, that is; the HP 370, on which I'm typing this, has both SCSI
and HPIB).
