Hi David,
In fact, release 2.2.4 is tagged and ready to go. I just haven't done the release steps because I'm waiting for EAP 4.3.CP10 to upgrade to 2.2.4 to verify there aren't any regressions. I don't know when that will happen, but I don't suppose it will be too far in the future. At that point I'll finish the release process. In the meantime, you can check out
http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbossremoting/remoting2/tags/2.2.4
and build output/lib/jboss-remoting.jar by running
ant jars
from the root directory.
Don't know anything about SLES 9. Novell, hmm, rings a bell. Don't they do netware? ;)
