Hmmm, what do you think about this entry for the ideas list: ---snip--- Fix ports which break without COMPAT_43TTY in the kernel. Some ports may break when removing COMPAT_43TTY from the kernel config. This is because they just assume old ioctl's when they identify FreeBSD. The goal of this entry is to identify the ports which behave like this (maybe portmgr is willing to do an experimental run on the ports build cluster for this, or you have to install a tinderbox and do it yourself) and fix them (patches should also be send upstream). Requirements: - knowledge of autotools - time and patience ---snip--- Bye, Alexander. -- Selling GoodYear Eagle F1 235/40ZR18, 2x 4mm + 2x 5mm, ~130 EUR you have to pick it up between Germany/Saarland and Luxembourg/Capellen http://www.Leidinger.net Alexander _at_ Leidinger.net: PGP ID = B0063FE7 http://www.FreeBSD.org netchild _at_ FreeBSD.org : PGP ID = 72077137Received on Thu Jun 15 2006 - 19:03:34 UTC
