from Gentoo Weekly Newsletter: Alex Martinez[30]has been working on porting Gentoo's "sandbox" utility to run on FreeBSD systems. The Gentoo/*BSD project[31] has been increasingly active in recent months, and is rapidly becoming a viable platform for real-world use. However, due to differences between the FreeBSD and GNU C libraries, the sandbox utility, used primarily for ebuild QA purposes, still does not work properly. Alex's SoC project sets out to change this, and involves looking into the most fundamental libraries on the system to find out just what is causing the problems. While the project is currently on hold due to the exam season, progress just before this was extremely promising. When completed, this should bring the various Gentoo/*BSD ports much closer to having all the package management functionality available on Gentoo Linux, a major milestone in their development. 30. http://unleashed.amule.org/soc/ 31. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gentoo-alt/bsd/index.xml Long Live LAMP! www.gentoo.org www.apache.org http://dev.mysql.com/ www.php.net/ ...because Windows/IIS/MySQL/PHP = WIMP!
