They are sending me specs and systems very early these days, so in that perspective it's been great. I do also have contacts which I use to report firmware and hypervisor issues I'd like fixed or clarified, so that's great too. I tend to do the processor specific gcc instruction scheduler and costs entries, and adding the new instruction support to binutils as well. So no, Sun really isn't helping with any actual development. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
