devel/jad seems to be dead.

2008-02-20 Thread Devin Smith

Hi ports@,

It seems that under OpenBSD current that devel/jad will exit right
away with a Bad System Call error message. It is doing this because
jad is calling syscall #189 which is:

189 COMPAT_35   { int sys_fstat(int fd, struct stat35 *sb); } \
  fstat35

Recently the COMPAT_35 support was switched off (see:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/conf/GENERIC revision
1.138)

I contacted the auther of jad at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to tell him about
the problem and also to see if there was anything we could do to
help him. I sent the mail 2 weeks ago but never received a reply.
Maybe someone with more authority will have better luck reaching
him.

The best thing to probably do is to remove this port. Too bad it's
closed source.

Thanks,

Devin Smith
