Well, *if* this is supposed to be the last beta, then the only question is if we *dare* to merge the code directly into the final version, i.e. without exposing it in beta. I consider that we can dare to do so as long as SuSE Labs promise that they would double-check couple of snapshots upon explicit request. Peter? However! I also have this IA-32 DES PIC-ified code coming in. The code already passes the test and I'm now striving for getting it into those perlasm things. As the idea is to roll that code into *all* IA-32 [Unix] platforms (as already mentioned it's *not* Solaris specific problem, it's just that Solaris is the only one that brings it up) it's definitely good idea to expose it in beta. But it seems that I'd need some help there... More about it in separate mail... So that *my* answer to the question is "yes, please, but it has little to do with x86_64." But that's only *my* opinion:-) A. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
