Glibc was recently ported to FreeBSD's kernel by Bruno Haible [1], and someone even ported it to NetBSD's [2]. I've been working lately [3] on producing a usable GNU/FreeBSD system [4] based on Bruno's ported Glibc, and we might be able to start a Debian port with it. However, we really need help. If someone who reads this is capable and willing to either: - help maintaining the FreeBSD port of Glibc - setting up a dedicated GNU/FreeBSD box to give access to (trusted) developers then _please_ pop out now :) [1] http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2002-07/msg00061.html http://www.haible.de/bruno/gnu-freebsd/ [2] http://www.geocities.com/velcok/netbsd-gnu.html [3] http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2003/debian-bsd-200305/threads.html [4] http://people.debian.org/~rmh/gnu-freebsd/ -- Robert Millan make: *** No rule to make target `war'.
