 If this is so, then why is there a device random line in GENERIC kernel?
 Do we really need device random?

Only if you use things like SSH, SSL, or other cryptographic
utilities/protocols :-)

Mark committed patches last night which reduce the impact the random
device has on the system, and it will probably get better over time
with other commits.

Yes.  Life sucks in current - current upgrade land.

First thing to do when you're having problems building world is to STOP
using -j.  If you aren't hitting a race condition, you won't get able to
figure out what is wrong due to the interleaved output.

Is -CURRENT in bad shape?

2001-02-11 Thread John Indra

Now I'm in the middle of make -j10 buildworld. Is -CURRENT in bad shape?

I'm planning to blow away all /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 to build "a whole
new world", again... ;)

Should I wait for a couple of hours/days?
Thanks...

Current from Sat Feb 10 17:00:18 looks ok, there were just some
patches to the scheduler but no one has complained yet.  Let us
know. :)

Thanks for the fast reply. I really need it.

OK... buildworld seems to be running ok right now. I'll let you know if
something goes wrong, of course... ;)
