Mike Barcroft, Bruce Evans, and maybe a few others are working on an update to about eight different include files which should clear up many of these issues. I think it would be very desirable to get this include-file-cleanup patch committed before the snapshot is done. The present version of this patch clears up a lot of the compile-time warnings that come up when doing a buildworld of current, but it still isn't quite right. If this current snapshot means more people will be running current, then I'd hate to see them chasing after compile-time warnings which are due to the present state of the system include files... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
