The current patchset finished a 3-hour buildworld w/o problems. Sometime after the world had finished while I was asleep it had a kernel trap with a memory management fault however. :( 3 hours of reliable uptime in multi- user should be enough stability for development however. -- Doug Rabson Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nonlinear Systems Ltd.Phone: +44 20 8348 3944 -- John Baldwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Re: HEADS UP: SMP code commit iminent
Progress will be more rapid with things checked in than not, as long as Jason's statement about "the (alpha) system will run" after the checkin. Jason- I think we'd all appreciate a UTC timestamp suitable for -D that we can all use to checkout stuff prior to the big change. -matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
