Hey, just wanted to give folks a heads up. I'm hearing that we may be seeing a native Flash binary for FreeBSD in the future, depending on how quick we can port over Tamarin: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tamarin/ They are working on a Linux port now, if anybody is interested in getting a FBSD port done that will help us a TON in getting Adobe to release Flash9 in a native FreeBSD format. No more Linux-emulation just to surf the web! -- Kris Moore PC-BSD Software http://www.pcbsd.com
That will be nice, and you're more than welcome to start porting ;), but note the following line: Tamarin will support the forthcoming ECMAScript Edition 4 ("JS2") language and will be integrated into SpiderMonkey as part of the Mozilla 2 project, to be released in 2008. Brendan Eich's Roadmap Update for Mozilla 2 provides broad details on Mozilla 2 and Tamarin's role in this roadmap. So, I wouldn't get too anxious about this becoming production quality until 2k8 rolls around, unless the Mozilla group does really well putting Actionscript in place. -Garrett _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
