You asked for patches. Both of these are incorporated in the 6.8.99
series, and have been around long enough that they should go into
6.8.2-r2 if it is going mainstream:

I'd prefer to avoid adding patches that are feature enhancements instead
of small fixes, if possible. Is it a problem if we pass on those?
Not really. They are not in 6.8.2-r1, and the way for anyone wanting them
into 6.8.2-r2 is the same as for 6.8.2-r1. Also, unless I am missing
something, for sparc, 6.8.2-r2 and 6.8.2-r1 are the same. At least,
when 6.8.2-r2 first came out, that was what I inferred from the ChangeLog
notes. That's why I never bothered with ~sparc-ing it until yesterday in
response to your status request.
The reason I mentioned them is that if you anticipate a long and stable
life for 6.8.2-r2, it makes things a little cleaner sparc-ishly.
Otherwise, there's not much point.
So, unless there is some compelling reason I am unaware of, I'm inclined
never to move 6.8.2-r2 ~sparc-->sparc. When asked, I suggest unmasking
the 6.8.99.xx series and test them instead, anyway. (I've kept them
~sparc all along because they work fine except for some eccentricities in,
I believe, Mesa vtxvector, but I need feedback from other people to track
it down. I plan to get to it, but more pressing tasks keep pushing it
down on my priority list.)
Done witfinals yet? :)
Regards,
Ferris
