No, I'm still on Wheezy. One of the reasons I brought up cross compiling 
was to be less dependent on linux distribution/version/etc. Gave up on 
that for now, too many easier tasks.

At present I'm expanding my system services test. I intend to use it as 
a regression test for all future changes. It can be loaded by grub and 
executed in stead of dcl. You have to edit the boot menu entry each time 
you boot into freevms though, because I have no idea how to add a menu 
entry on the boot floppy.

Anyway, I ran into the fact that the getsyi and getjpi system services 
do not return the length of the data in the item list. So I fixed that 
locally and I will try to commit it later this week.

Maybe I'll try to upgrade to Jessie next ...

Guido
