I'm running my stable/8 with Pedro's patches applied, including r251212, no problems so far (although I don't have recent AMD CPUs to play with). > Does it still make sense to backport such experimental changes to an old > stable branch?

My goal here is to try to keep stable/8 as alive as possible, since I plan to keep using it beyond its official EOL. Hence, when I see fixes that potentially help ports to be buildable on it I'd usually ask if they can be MFCed (when it's easy enough to do). ./danfe _______________________________________________ svn-src-stable-9@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-stable-9 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-stable-9-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
