1:08 PM - linux-firefox, linux-thunderbird, linux-seamonkey, etc
The linux versions of these ports should be properly installing their linux-portname script to start them. Previously, the path was wrong and set to a fake destdir. I fixed this last night. The port versions were not bumped though. If you installed any of these ports before the mports changes, you don't need to do anything.
I'm committing a few improvements to src/sys/dev/firewire today. Most of these changes were done in the FreeBSD project by Hidetoshi Shimokawa.
I committed a fix for the architecture issue with the mozilla port. Next step is to try to fix make package and work on some of the other "options" like mail, calendar, etc.
The other BSD projects seem to be actively working on SMP. This could promote more code reuse between the BSDs.
OpenBSD has added some nice UltraSparc III support.
Lastly, if you've been reluctant to check out ports since our big todo, this might finally be a good time to do it. Quite a few ports do work now. We've also started updating ports again with security updates and things.
I'm debating what to do with the installer. For the first release, we planned on using sysinstall and then writing a new installer. sysinstall does not scale well in terms of adding distribution sets. It uses a bit for each one limiting the total to 32. Since we have a lot of packages to install for a desktop system this isn't very helpful. The easy hack is out.
