I also see no good reason to remove these options, and it well actually break some of my systems as I do NOT use loadable modules in my deployed systems, and some of them use the LINUXulator. Further anything that can be built as a module should also be supported as a compiled in kernel option, people just expect that to work. > > There?s a separate debate of whether this is the ?right? fix for > COMPAT_LINUX*; arguably that *should* work and it?s a bug that they > don?t, not a feature, even if it?s not of much interest to support? > > I?d like to see the second half reverted, please, and believe the first > should be too, but I feel less strongly about that. > > Jess > > > -- Rod Grimes rgri...@freebsd.org _______________________________________________ dev-commits-src-main@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/dev-commits-src-main To unsubscribe, send any mail to "dev-commits-src-main-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
