I've attempted to send a couple of messages to stable during the past few days, but the upgrade to 4.1 RC0 nuked my sendmail.cf; therefore my address rewriting rules are gone and I imagine the messages were quietly round-filed as a result. I've seen a couple of problems with some of the ports, one of which was caused by a recent commit in /src/sys/net/if_var.h. Here is the list: 1. GIMP does not compile. It fails while trying to build libgnomeui in the gnomelibs package. I've already filed a PR for this. 2. VMWare does not compile. It fails in vmnet, tripping over the altered signature to ether_ifattach() in the newly-committed /src/sys/net/if_var.h. If you look at the diff, you'll see that an extra int parameter has been added. And, of course, the deletion of my sendmail.cf was rather annoying, but I can fix that easily enough. I don't think that either of these are showstoppers, but item #2 is rather troubling to those people who use VMWare heavily--especially when they're beset by those lost souls who push Linux all the time. :-( I have not yet filed a PR for the VMWare problem. I thought I might try to cook up a patch first, if I can find some time.
