Re: Removing perl usage from mergemaster
Ok, I've imported stat(1) and modified mergemaster to use it instead. For now, I have simply disabled use of the user's umask for mode setting so that I could get the non-perl version in the tree asap. I will look at Giorgos' excellent patch and steal bits from it so that I can add that feature back. Once again, sorry for the delay. -- "We have known freedom's price. We have shown freedom's power.

This is tool long for such an important tool. I would like to commit this patch now as a band-aid solution -- with full expectation you will back it out once stat(1) is ready.

If all it did was motivate you to do the patch sooner than you would have, then it was worthwhile. ;^). If on the other hand, you want to wait so that you aren't rushed, there's really no reason to not commit his code in the interim, as an interim fix that you will later replace with "stat(1)". Either way, it's all nice work. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Nobody's pushing things. Whenever you feel like it, and stat's on its way to our tree, let me know if I can help with mergemaster & the removal of perl. > NetBSD's stat(1) is very feature rich, compiles cleanly on -current, and > handled all the stuff I threw at it in semi-rigorous testing.

I'll probably wait until NetBSD's stat is imported, and retry. In the meantime, I'll try to test NetBSD's stat, or even come up with a few regression tests for NetBSD's stat. jmallett seems to like adding such things to our tree. Then perhaps, after stat is tested, we can re-hack mergemaster ;) Giorgos. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Your work looks good, but I wish you'd asked before embarking on it. My current plan is actually to import netbsd's stat(1), which will solve this problem very neatly. I was hoping to do it sooner than now, but some family business, and a dead hard drive interfered with that plan. I am reasonably sure that I can get to it tonight. NetBSD's stat(1) is very feature rich, compiles cleanly on -current, and handled all the stuff I threw at it in semi-rigorous testing. I can't imagine anyone objecting to the import, but here's your chance. Meanwhile, my apologies to those -current users who've been inconvenienced somewhate ironic considering my enthusiastic campaigning to get rid of perl in the base. Mea culpa.
