# > 1. (kernel) A fix for "system binds" problem (IDE system with X11 # > "goes asleep" periodically for random periods of time). # # We'll have to see how much of John's other changes this requires. It # could turn out to be a little too "expensive" for -stable, so don't # get your hopes up is all! :-) Oh yes, of course... I'm not shouting from the soap-box "DO IT!", but maybe, some day, occasionally... ;) That _is_ a critical disaster, which negates people's impressions on FreeBSD quality, nothin more. # > 2.

Last I heard, # there was still some userland stuff complaining about malloc # conditions. I'd kinda like to see all of those found and fixed before # declaring this malloc ready for -stable. I think that it will be wise to add it to -stable-SNAP and all occurences of weird apps will be found in a week by the happy -stable users, me among them. ;-) There are 0 complaints on phk malloc _itself_, aren't they? It _will_ improve the overall OS performance -- this is for sure, yeah? And better have fixed apps for 2.1.5 (or will it be 2.1-Gold?) than silently broken ones? That's my arguments. # > 4. A new groff (1.10). It's way nice to have direct LaserJet printing! # # Hmmm. Gm. Yes, it's probably too specific for me. I already dropped groff stolen from -current to /usr/src and reinstalled it; just Ok, so please forget this. Everyone who wants it will go this way, too. # # Jordan # -- With best regards -- Andrew Stesin. +380 (44) 2760188 +380 (44) 2713457 +380 (44) 2713560 "You may delegate authority, but not responsibility."
