Probably. After several hours I've given up trying to make userland compatible with both kernels. Specifically with CAM, the required patch would be very intrusive (a struct is modified carelessly, which would require duplicating the struct, all structs that include it, and versioning in all the functions that rely on any of that). If someone volunteers feel free to supply a patch, but IMHO with manpower being so scarce this is a dead end. When I asked FreeBSD release managers, they couldn't make it clear whether kfreebsd 8.3 will be ready by June. Maybe it is, but they can't make any promises. If it isn't, we could still ship a 8-STABLE snapshot in wheezy. At this point I'd advocate for backporting rev 225950 into kfreebsd-8 like we did for libteken. This would break binary compat with FreeBSD 8 userland, but we didn't have such compat anyway (cf RFTSIGZMB, #630695) so no harm done this way. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
