The armv7 builds and installs get the same sort of diff results as the aarch64 ones. So it does not look like I can readily reproduce the problem files that had differences. Given the time it takes to run the experiments, I would not expect to reproduce the problem on any given timescale. I'll stop the reporting as I go along in my activities --unless I end up with a repetition of the problem. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar) _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
