It would have caught the first problem, which I reported here http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2006-August/065175.html. This problem was fixed by kan as noted here http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-src/2006-August/067536.html Notice I reported the problem of Aug 16th. Kan's patch was committed on Aug 17th. > Guido made a mistake, has apologised and has corrected the problem in > less than 6 hours.

Huh? If Guido had done a "make buildworld" or "make universe" before he committed the source, then the problem would never have existed. -- Steve _______________________________________________ cvs-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
