I figured I'd address these two issues in one posting here. First of all, does anyone work with Mozilla by checking out the source code by anon cvs? One of the build stages does a "cvs co" when you do gmake -f client.mk. There's a lot of long pauses where you see a lot of "waiting for lock in..." and "obtained lock in..." I was thinking that for such a large project as Mozilla (>>100 MB), cvsup would be much better than cvs. Of course, it might be a little too late in the project to convince the Mozilla team to switch now. Anyone try talking the team into using cvsup? Wine: There's a thing where certain Windows programs need to use Ring level 0, whatever that is. I guess Wine needs ring level 0 for certain programs that use VxDs (supervisor mode). AFAIK, most programs use ring level 2. I was thinking maybe a kernel module may be able to put us in ring level 0, or is that too risky? Of course, Wine is a low priority thing, but does anyone here hack on Wine, or have any comments on this? - Donn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
