I tried to arrange that the general design should be amenable to a non-Linux implementation. That said, it's true that nobody has so far got round to coming up with one. I would expect it to be fairly trivial to write a Hurd implementation, seeing as binfmt_misc is really just a special case of translators; I don't know what it would take to implement it on kFreeBSD. I'd enthusiastically welcome patches from interested developers of non-Linux ports, although I'm not likely to have time to do it myself. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
