Most likely it's low priority given all the other exp-runs that affect 7.x/8.x, tweaking things for an 6.x-EOL-tagged tree, and a bunch of other infrastructure stuff. Not to mention the impending 7- and 8- RELEASEs. Then of course there's the issue (which is certainly getting better) of finding a point in time along the -CURRENT path where the tree is stable (sic) enough to get through a full ports run (which is one of the bigger internal stress tests we have of the system). IMO, the best approach would be to make sure it does the right thing with 'make universe' (twice, naturally, the second time being when all traces of the previous binutils has been purged from the building system). Once that's done, commit (please bump __FreeBSD_version as part of this, in case ports OSVERSION hacks are eventually needed), and then give the exp-run a whirl -- with all of the above, this should be nicely after 7.4/8.2 -aDe _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
