Will there be a build of disk images for this release? Or do you need people to help with<br>
building disk images?<br>
Also, what is the state of native bliss? Is anyone working on it? I'll put some<br>
code where my mouth is if need be =).<br>
Thanks,<br>

Hi<br><br>We seem to have reached a (minor) milestone, with ODS-2 to be used about as<br>good as Ext2 when booted from and used natively,<br>and I have thereby decided to increase version to 0.2.<br><br>New release 0.2.0 at
<br>ftp.nvg.ntnu.no:/pub/vms/freevms (freevms-0_2_0.tgz and linker-0_1_6)<br><br>New VFS ODS2 at<br>ftp.nvg.ntnu.no:/pub/linux/ods2/ods2-source_0.9.3.w5_all.deb<br>(or ods2_0.9.3.w5.tar.gz).<br><br>News:<br>Starlet and librtl ELF libraries are now built with PIC.
<br>ODS-2 moved higher up in grub menu.<br>Fixed paths and path handling to work with RMS on both ODS-2 and Ext2.<br>More VFS system calls wrapped to RMS.<br>Telnet included in dcltables.<br>Dynamic linking (as with telnet) works now on both ODS-2 and Ext2 booting.
<br>Cli$dispatch can now also do .ele files in CONFIG_VMS mode.<br><br>Bugs fixed:<br>Misc fixes with regard to RMS Ext2 return code, directory flag.<br>Missing directory flag and temporary fix for fcb filesize in RMS ODS-2.
<br>Hex instead of octals in stat returns.<br>Missing error checks in VFS system calls.<br>VFS ODS-2 did not do doubling allocation. Also replaced llseek with generic.<br>Worked around setxattr install segfault on debian stable.
<br>Munmap was not working properly, due to loop not being done.<br><br>New bugs/features:<br>Probably some.<br><br>Notes:<br>Since debian stable's libdl can not handle dynamic linking with<br>dollars in pathnames, dynamic linking with ELF is postponed a bit
<br>for ordinary installation and use.<br><br>Regards,<br>Roar Thronæs<br>_______________________________________________<br>FreeVMS mailing list<br><a href="mailto:FreeVMS@systella.fr">FreeVMS@systella.fr</a><br><a href="http://rayleigh.systella.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freevms">

<br>radical". Nietzsche's supreme vocation, so he says, is to provoke a kind of crisis and a final decision about the<br>problem of atheism. The world continues on its course at random and there is nothing final about it. Thus God
<br>is useless, since He wants nothing in particular. If he wanted something -- and here we recognize the traditional<br>forumlation of the problem of evil -- He would have to assume responsiblity for "a sum total of pain and inconsistency
<br>which would debase the entire value of being born."<br> -- Albert Camus, L'Homme révolté
