I doubt that there's much "big" in the ambit of "Unix-like OS" that isn't already in the 8-current series. In a project like FreeBSD, "what's in the roadmap" equates pretty closely with "what are the developers working on", and that is summarised in the quarterly status reports, such as this one: http://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2009-01-2009-03.html As for when any of this will "hit the tree" and find its way into a release, that's very much a "how long is a piece of string" sort of question; not really the way FreeBSD works. Particularly since it moved to a calendar-based release schedule. IMO, YMMV, i-do-not-speak-for-freebsd, etc. Cheers, -- Andrew ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
FreeBSD RoadMap
Is there a general roadmap of what's planned for future major releases? I don't mean minor stuff like driver or contributed version bumps. But bigger, or just plain cool things, like as SMP, soft updates, ZFS, netgraph, pf, etc, were in the past. I poked around the website and wiki a bit and didn't see any sort of all in one document. Some sort of dynamic non-binding wiki doc with direction or work as to how the next two [or 3] majors after the current one [8] would be interesting. And could be used by those looking at investing in FreeBSD as a future or continuing platform. Certainly core/committers have thoughts on this that are publishable. Something so people can see where all the projects fit into the whole. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
