Well, I get compile-time warning messages when doing a buildworld of current, but nothing actually breaks. I do not do much of anything fancy with resetting WARNS, so my guess is that the "default buildworld settings" will not run into a show-stopping error due to these loose ends. I think part of it is that some things (like 'lpr' for instance) were changed to use 'BDECFLAGS' instead of some compiler-specific list of flags (in -stable lpr has '-Wall -Wnested-externs -Wmissing-prototypes -Wno-unused -Wredundant-decls -Wstrict-prototypes'). That probably sounds like a step up in warning level, except that we also removed BDECFLAGS from /etc/defaults/make.conf. In fact, there is no /etc/defaults/make.conf in current, it was moved to /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf. So I expect that most people (including me) have effectively gone to compiling with zero special CWARNFLAGS parameters for those modules. I'll make a wild guess and say that it's possible that Bruce might have some BDECFLAGS set in his /etc/make.conf, so he is probably seeing more warning messages than the average person... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
