Re: BSD sleep

I'm just saying that there's pretty space for discussion. If someone raised this now, why not discuss it now. > If you sleep one hour, do you sleep one hour from now or one hour from the system clock which may change in the next hour? If it's the system clock, you may sleep for ten minutes or ten

Support of Dell M620 broadcom BCM57810

"make buildworld" fails

On a system running: FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #0 r248938: Sun Mar 31 06:24:42 EDT 2013 amd64 with the source tree updated every night, "make buildworld" has failed for about the past week with: cc -O -pipe -g -DNO_PWD_OVERRIDE -I/usr/src/usr.bin/bmake -DUSE_META -DMAKE_NATIVE -DH

Re: Support of Dell M620 broadcom BCM57810
