Message-ID: Hello, I've been following the status on and off and I noticed development has recently resumed. I am very happy about this and I would be happy to bugtest...if I can get it to build. I never could before. What's the current status of FreeVMS? The website seems to be a bit...not too up-to-date. ;) I would love it if FreeVMS ends up with an eventual DECnet stack I can use to connect it to PDP-11s and some linux boxes...but I think that's a little ways off. ;) -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Projects From joel.bertrand at systella.fr Mon Jan 6 08:19:44 2014 From: joel.bertrand at systella.fr (BERTRAND Joel) Date: Mon, 06 Jan 2014 08:19:44 +0100 Subject: [FreeVMS] Current status?

Meaning we got a maintenance problem (which we were going to avoid this time). How can this be? Isn't L4 developed anymore? -- Regards, Roar Thron??s From joel.bertrand at systella.fr Tue Jan 14 09:58:17 2014 From: joel.bertrand at systella.fr (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?BERTRAND_Jo=EBl?=) Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 09:58:17 +0100 Subject: [FreeVMS] Current status?

L4 is alive. I have received a patch to avoid a gcc bug but I haven't time enough to test it. Regards, JKB
