Nope, this is a different Alan Cox.

Something tells me I once saw an FAQ list once that involved this same question but I could be wrong ;-)

Re:And still no Java

On: FreeBSD 5.1 Released

It was removed from the 5.x base and kept into the 4.x base.

The changes to the few base utilities that used Perl were than MFC'ed into what became the 4.8 release.

That would probably explain why it was in 4.7 but not 4.8

Re:And still no Java

On: FreeBSD 5.1 Released

I don't think Perl is out of the default install (I haven't done a fresh install for a while) but it was taken out of the base system ages ago.

For most people it probably won't cause a problem.

I think they rely on a lot of people doing upgrades and fresh installs to catch any major problems.

Ones that occur once the system is running tend to be found and fixed well before they start to release ISO images.

Alternatively they could just be impatient and wanting to get on with working on 5.2 so they can get RELENG_5 tagged and forgotten about, but I doubt it ;-)

He means the -STABLE branch of the 5.x series, not the tag for 5.0 Release (which would be the RELENG_5_0)
