Fwd: Patching? Probably a trivial question, but...
I really should learn to hit reply-all on these lists...

However, I've deleted the work directory after placing patch as you suggested, and am watching 'make' do its thing - after starting script to record the session. I should be able to examine that and see if it does as you think.

There were no error messages. Then, being the incredibly brilliant person I am, I tried again, this time after taking the blindingly obvious step of deleting the 'work' directory. This seems to be a key part of the process. The patch doesn't install correctly, as the make process generates the following: HttpHeader.cc:127: error: 'ftSTr' was not declared in this scope *** Error code 1 and halts after a few more errors, but at least that indicates that *something* is happening with the patch file. This smells like progress.

Well, to be exact, yes, the patch installs without error. However, it breaks the program install. following: HttpHeader.cc:127: error: 'ftSTr' was not declared in this scope *** Error code 1 and halts after a few more errors, but at least that indicates that *something* is happening with the patch file. This smells like progress. just patch a patch :) I'm working with the author on that...

I'm pretty much taking an easy day today to recover my broken -STABLE ZFS system, so while I'm in discussion/learning about ZFS recovery in regards to that problem, I'll give the patch a try on a couple of VMs and see if I can help.

I'm building on both a 7.0-RELEASE, and a 7.2-RELEASE box, with ports updated to nearly the same spec as yours. Unfortunately, due to the racking overhaul we're doing in the datacentre, my really good build boxes are shut down, so it's going to take a bit longer ;) Steve smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
