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?

Current (6.4) Darwin kernel ? by snowtigger · 2003-02-19 01:36 · Score: 4, Interesting

Is the latest kernel included ? The one included with 10.2.4 is the following:

uname -a
Darwin computername.local. 6.4 Darwin Kernel Version 6.4: Wed Jan 29 18:50:42 PST 2003; root:xnu/xnu-344.26.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc

However, the darwin kernel you download from Apple is only version 6.0. Does anyone know where to fetch the latest kernel ?
