I think I might have either seen it, whilst trying to cobble together a working kernel upgrade for Darwin 8.0.1 (which is now EOL'd, and unsupported by both Apple, and the PureDarwin project), a few years ago.\n\nIn the meantime, I hope that sheds some light on the state of play.\n\nTyson.\r\nSent from my BlackBerry® smartphone on O2\r\n\r\n-----Original Message-----\r\nFrom: Adam Baxter <notifications@github.com>\r\nDate: Mon, 06 Jul 2015 16:58:27 \r\nTo: PureDarwin/PureDarwin<PureDarwin@noreply.github.com>\r\nReply-To: PureDarwin/PureDarwin <reply@reply.github.com>\r\nSubject: [PureDarwin] Project status?
