I submitted codemods for FreeBSD but I would hesitate to say its known to work on FreeBSD. If that port is verified from other sources I'm happy!
Linux and FreeBSD are more of an "intended target" for the server at this point. The server compiles and runs on Linux, but is largely untested. The port to FreeBSD has been accomplished largely by you (thanks George). We're concentrating on stability and accurracy on Solaris right now, because that's our own environment, and we need to make 100% sure it works for the cutover on April 23rd. Having said that, we WILL make the code work on Linux and FreeBSD as soon as possible, hopefully before the cutover as well.
APNIC runs registry on SCO OpenServer. Thats a critical dependency for APNIC and right now, the code is only beginning to work.
I hesitate to do this, but... I have two questions related to this. Is anybody else running SCO? And is anybody else running another operating system (Unix-like, although I suppose a Cygnus port is theoretically possible for Windows) that they plan to run RIPE Whois 3.0 on? -- Shane
