New Revision: 193241
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/193241
Log:
Decrement __FreeBSD_version again to 96 as we are runing out of digits
and want to be conservative - so not more than one version bump per day.
Discussed with: jhb, kensmith
It was noted we're close to running out of numbers we can use before we
hit code freeze and the branch for the release. Since we're entering
code slush at the end of today in theory all changes that would warrant
a bump in __FreeBSD_version are supposed to be done. But it wouldn't
surprise me if we have one or two or so things that come along between
now and when we hit code freeze and the branch. So we need to be a bit
conservative with this. Please be sure to coordinate anything that
might require a bump in __FreeBSD_version with re@ from now on. If it
turns out things do come along that require bumps we'll need to "batch
them up" having one bump represent several changes.
Talking about "padding of structures", as this will be one of those
changes most likely, I had suggested previously in private email:
Can't we start collecting all those somewhere, perhaps on the wiki,
and do one big padding day, one commit for all and everything?
This would have several advantages:
1) no ABI breakage in HEAD as v-structs would possibly change in size
2) actual documentation of A|KB|PI relevant structures which would be
good to have them written down finally after I heard people talking
about this for multiple releases now.
3) a list of things we might need to work on in the future to reduce
the problem and also a list for the time 9.x would come;-)
just my 0.01$
