OpenDarwin.org Releases Darwin With Fixes

Posted by pudge on Wednesday February 19, 2003 @12:32AM from the as-a-matter-of-fact-yes-i-would-like-fries-with-that dept.

An anonymous reader writes "OpenDarwin released a 'fixed' version of the Darwin 6.0.2 ISO (the OpenDarwin-20030213 Binary Release) for both x86 and PPC. It is currently installing, so I can't tell you all what works now, etc. Hopefully I can use my old PC box as a server with this..." Apparently, it is mostly a recompile, without local OpenDarwin modifications. It doesn't include perl, pending integration of perl 5.8 ... could this mean Mac OS X will finally have a current perl in the next Mac OS X release?

The only reason trolls like you mention the "one-button" thing - is because you can't find anything else wrong with them.

Also, some die-hard *nix geeks get pissed because they can't stand the fact that Apple - in only a few years has taken a *nix variant and gone further with it than the entire Open Source community could in 10 years.
