Well, I have been waiting for some time for porters to run against a wall because of the lack of posix_openpt() etc, but so far it hasn't happened yet. I certainly don't think it's a burden on third party developers--they'll just shrug and ignore us. (app/luit in xenocara was broken until I fixed it to use openpty(); the upstream of net/rtorrent essentially told me to shove it if we didn't support the POSIX interface and ignored my patch, but that was for a configure test and isn't even really used in the program.) -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [email protected]
