There's a mailing list, freebsd-i18n, that seems to be very active
regarding this topic (the archives show 0 posts).
It's probably not being archived properly. I subscribed to this list
on the 24th of april and the first message was on the 5th of may.
% grep '^From ' freebsd-i18n | wc -l
19
Nothing was said about wc* in those 19 messages anyway.
The latest I found on it (searching the archives) is this:

As far as I can tell, nothing's been done since last May.

Re: OpenSSH 2.1
But I'm suddenly confused what you're actually talking about here: OpenSSH, OpenSSL, or RSAREF. OpenSSH has never included crypto code, but it's useless without OpenSSL which quite certainly does. OpenSSH no longer requires RSAREF to operate (if you've got clients/servers willing to do DSA SSH2), which is the "non-free" component I was talking about. OK, if OpenSSL still contains crypto then "never mind"; I thought OpenSSL used *only* RSA and it used it through the RSAstubs code, making it "OK." today as well (after you've checked and got that legal advice I've been bugging you about :) I'm working on the legal advice; a firm has been retained and consulted. Some paperwork needs to be done in order to get FreeBSD an export permit and I'm still working on figuring out if this will be an ongoing issue or we can just do it once. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
Re: OpenSSH 2.1
speaking of which, I presume that OpenSSH 2.1 is being merged into Internat by kindly overworked developer types at the moment?

OpenSSL is a general-purpose cryptography toolkit which includes such goodies as Blowfish, CAST, DES, Diffie-Hellman, DSA, RC[245], and..oh yes, RSA :-) today as well (after you've checked and got that legal advice I've been bugging you about :) I'm working on the legal advice; a firm has been retained and consulted. Some paperwork needs to be done in order to get FreeBSD an export permit and I'm still working on figuring out if this will be an ongoing issue or we can just do it once. Whee! Great news! Once you get the legal issues sorted out, we can finally merge the internat and freefall crypto repositories so there's just one source of crypto. I think the only (legitimate) difference between the two is a single file, rsa_eay.c, which contains the actual RSA crypto on internat. We can put that into its own cvsup collection (cvs-crypto-rsa) which won't be installed by default (and won't build anyway for USA_RESIDENT=="YES"), and which mirrors don't have to replicate. I think that should take care of all of the legal issues.

As was recently posted to freebsd-java:
There's a "wchar" implementation available on
http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd/FreeBSD/wcs-19990606.tar.gz
I have tried it myself and it works as expected, meaning
that I was able to successfully link a Motif program.

Re: Motif is now Open Source 8)
It requires two downloads to get a working JDK system. No other OS requires multiple packages to work. People shouldn't have to compile Motif up just to get a non-source version of the JDK to work. Versioning problems that can be caused by folks using different include files and/or X than what was used to build the JDK. Bugs that have slipped in due to changes in the Motif port that negatively effect the JDK. Shall I go on? I'm curious... what happens when someone who has already installed Motif then tries to install JDK? Nothing. It should use the version inside the JDK, and it won't effect the version outside the JDK.

modules
Hi, Sorry to whinge, but wWhat's the state of play with modules at the moment ? 1. To update things, I was under the impression that ``make buildworld buildkernel'' then ``make installworld installkernel'' was the idea. This doesn't build modules, but building from sys/compile/whatever builds another kernel... Is anybody going to finish what was started and make buildkernel/installkernel do the modules too ? 2. Installing rtc.ko (ports/emulators/rtc) gives exec format errors at boot time. 3. Building vmware2 now fails due to the move of bsd.kmod.mk and ultimately suffers from the same exec format error as rtc.ko Are there any plans to fix this stuff ? -- Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED]brian@[uk.]FreeBSD.org http://www.Awfulhak.org brian@[uk.]OpenBSD.org Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !

The work on buildkernel/installkernel was done by different folks from the guy(s) who've moved the modules build. I was about to check in new stuff for the installkernel target when the modules stuff happened. Although the buildkernel/installkernel targets were Marcel's brainchild, I'm looking at it. Gimme some time (assuming nobody else gets stuck in there first); I've had unbelievable hassles trying to sell a car. Ciao, Sheldon.
