By all means shout me down if you like, but I just received the
updates re ports unmaintained etc and I noticed linux-threads in one

This came in on the ports@ list:
Unmaintained marked broken:
portname: devel/linuxthreads
broken because: does not build
build errors: none.
overview:http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=linuxthreads
I'm curious as to why this wouldn't be coming to the emulation list
as isn't it critical to the use of the linux ports? And is the
maintainer situation similar to other linux ports- as in the list
maintains it for critical purposes?
It is not a linuxulator port. It is doing what the old linux threads
lib was doing (each thread is a process), just on FreeBSD. There was a
timeframe where this gave better performance for the native MySQL than
our default threads lib. Now our threads lib is better, and we do not
need the linuxthreads ports anymore.
Huh, well there you go.
My thinking was that when the linuxulator was running equivalent to 2.4
linux it didn't need it (2.4 linux didn't have threads), and when it
jumped to 2.6 it needed the threads. And about the same time 2.6 came in
I noticed linux-threads in ports; hence I jumped to the wrong conclusion
it seems... :)
Thanks for the clarification.
