I should add to this that I have no objection to seeing it raised in 5.x-stable. I'm just saying that even if we do raise it right now, there are a lot of users who will not be helped if the value is only changed in 5.x-stable. I (personally) would rather not see it changed so close to 5.4-release, but it might make sense to increase it in -stable shortly after 5.4-release. I have no opinion on what value it should be changed to, though, if we do increase it. I do not work in that part of the system, so I don't know all the pros and cons that would be involved. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn= [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Instituteor [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ARG_MAX increase
I saw ARG_MAX was increased in 6.0. Recently I noticed that the lang/fpc-devel port currently hits the old limit in certain (though rare) cases), and this is annoying.

The port has to work on many releases in addition to 5.x-stable and 6.x-current. We can't change ARG_MAX in all of those releases to fix the port. We certainly can't change it in 5.3-RELEASE (because that's sitting on CD's), and we probably aren't going to change it in 5.3-ERRATA (the minimal change security branch, which many people run on production servers), and it's even less likely that we'll change it in 4.x-stable. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn= [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Instituteor [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
