Sorry if this sounds a bit flame-ish, but the way I see it we now have a system compiler in -CURRENT that doesn't even compile a hello world if -pedantic is specified and breaks with lots of existing software out there that tries to use a threads library because -pthread errors out (why could this change not have been made _after_ 4.9 is out the door, btw.? Or before 5.0-R FWIW.) Are we expecting people to be able to compile software directly from the commandline at all these days and in the future on a (stable) FreeBSD-5? Is the decision criterion for making acceptable changes to core system components that we can somehow make 3rd party software compiling via ports-collection hacks? I feel that a FreeBSD that manages to break so many existing configure-scripts and build systems is degraded in usefulness. - ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi_at_freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.orgReceived on Wed Sep 10 2003 - 04:30:32 UTC
