I guess a 2500 page FAQ would be much better. But, I do believe I have found an important issue to add to the porting section of the FAQ. Although it covers submitting a single port, it does not cover how to deal with submitting a larger project with 20+ submissions. I learned the hard way that the methods I was using to submit ports for a larger project just didn't work for getting these looked at and getting the two OK's needed for new ports. Oops. However, bit by bit, I was kindly informed on how to do that correctly. I intend to work out a diff to add that to the porting section of the FAQ. Perhaps it will be accepted, but at least it will bring the topic into a single, searchable thread. For the moment, due to financial reasons, I cannot continue that project. Hopefully, others will at least find some value from my experience with that project. I would like to see others motivated to doing medium sized projects with less confusion. Reviewers too. As far as to leaving certain unmaintained src and broken ports in the tree, I have no problem with that. Many broken ports eventually get fixed. We all benefit from that. Chris Bennett

I did not downgrade via the "Upgrade" option but via the "Install" option. The installer running newfs should cleared all data in /usr, /var, and /, right? After rebooting I now cannot boot.

For those who are not aware how mutex work in mp world like me
This seems a good source with the ref to LOCK in x86 ( which is support to make any instruction atomic across cores :o ) http://www.moserware.com/2008/09/how-do-locks-lock.html If someone with knowledge can confirm it is decent reading. ( apparently other cpu use other stuff.. i wonder how it is done on ARM ) Kudos to all working on this very difficult matter -- -- - Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do
