In addition, you truly have no idea of the scope of the work involved to identify, scrub, validate and package the number of source code projects involved in a Darwin source release. Does this mean that you can not recompile the sources and get a kernel that will function with all the usual Mac OS X applications? I am getting tired of poor filesystem performance and I was just thinking that I might spend a weekend fixing the obvious stuff in the VFS layer. smime.p7s
