Re: Latest version of mega header file POSIX update
Back on March 15/2001, Garrett Wollman wrote: I have finally produced another version of the big header file patch for people to look at. I'm still running an older (January) kernel and world based on these changes. I have verified that these still build on i386-architecture systems. I'm looking for some people to do the following: 1) Look at the changes to machine-dependent i386 headers and make analogous changes, or verify the changes I've made, in the Alpha and IA64 code. 2) Test it. I'm interested not only in whether it runs -- I'm fairly confident of that -- but also in what external software it breaks, if any. I'm expecting to make a third pass over the header files once Austin Group draft 6 is issued. (Draft 7 is expected to be the final text.) However, I really, really want to get this checked in so that we can all have a framework on which to work. The patch has now gotten too large for some e-mail systems, so I'm making it available via the Web at http://khavrinen.lcs.mit.edu/includes.patch. As I'm sitting here picking off the occasional compile-time warnings in lprfriends, I'm wondering about the status timeline of this big posix-push patch. (one of the warnings I'm getting would be solved by the changes to grp.h in this patch). Is the goal to have this patch in current for 5.0-release later this year? If so, what milestones should we be shooting for? Is this going to show up in 4-stable too, or is it too widespread a change to try and MFC it? (I am not suggesting it SHOULD be MFC'ed, I'm just wondering). [also, it seems to me there was a more recent message about this patch, but it seems I didn't save that one] I've got this idea of trying to build an alternate /usr/include on my -current machine, and then see how it works by switching between the current /usr/include and an alternate version which included the latest version of this patch. On the other hand, I do a lot more day-to-day living on a -stable system, so I'm not sure how much of a test I'd give these changes on my -current system. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn= [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Instituteor [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

Sorry, that one leaked out Nothing else jumped out at me while I glanced over it however, and it seems fine at first glance. But did you *test* it? I know it compiles. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
