The main problem IMHO is if the MorphOS 1.5 is
released with its own TCP/IP stack it is probably
incompatible with the bounty stack and will
therefore block it. And then people have spent lots
of money for a stack which they won't be able to
ever use.
IMHO from the beginning the bounties should have
been limited to project which are for sure no
system components on which also the MorphOS
Team is working on. Bounties for system
components like TCP/IP, 3d drivers, etc. make no
sense. You also don't want a bounty for a new asl,
intuition or cybergfx library, do you?
This can't possibly be news to anyone. Originally, as far as I remember, the "MorphOS native" TCP/IP stack was scheduled for MorphOS1.4. The stack has been demonstrated at various public events ever since, as has the Gigabit Ethernet driver (AFAIK). Everyone who donated to this bounty must have done so fully knowing that there will/might be an official TCP/IP stack released at some point. This bounty will bring an interim solution, and/or a permanent alternative.
Edit: However, this is
off topic in this *Firewire* thread!
