Alexander, what do you think? Not being Alexander, but appeared on Cc:. IMO, bumping __FreeBSD_version should not be done frivolous, and routine bug fixes are definitely not the good reason to bump. For one, users of HEAD or stable are assumed to run tip of the branch. If you want defined point of the branch, use release. With this POV, the usefulness of the bump for bug fix is only a week or two. Second, bump of __FreeBSD_version signifies major incompatibility between pre-bumped tree and current one. In the kernel, each bump of version in HEAD means that new modules cannot be loaded into new kernel. Bumping for bug fixes is a misuse of the mechanism which was put there to provide information about major changes in system. For small or detectable items, use autoconf-like runtime (or build-time *) tests. * - Usually, the tests must be run-time, and not build-time. This bug is greatly amplified by use of __FreeBSD_version. The case that initiated the discussion is probably the first time I ever saw the when build-time test makes some sense. --rmUrFcWP4LYae1gV Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlAyDi4ACgkQC3+MBN1Mb4jqTQCgrqDlPFrRT0JaibAqDH7esjec lbAAn0ytBiCcX9mZsb3lNqoHKR19tQGz =4gBI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --rmUrFcWP4LYae1gV--
