Hi Mark,

Thnx for the update. I’m happy that you aren’t shipping too soon!
Unfortunately I won’t be able to help you with this, but I appreciate all the hard work!!

Thnx.
Ruud

> Yes but they started shipping a newer version of the snappy compression library. It's a java jar file with native libraries inside and they only ship the libraries for Linux, windows, and OSX. We replace with our own from the ports tree. It's not clear if our older version is ABI compatible so we are looking at updating the snappy port but it's a bit difficult because we have to do a bunch of custom work to make it build without requiring internet access such as doing a bunch of Maven stuff to cache all its build requirements locally. I'm not up to speed on that and am discussing it with the maintainer right now.
