            Bug ID: 224016
           Summary: [exp-run] Removal of basename_r()
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Ports Framework
          Assignee: portmgr@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ed@FreeBSD.org
                CC: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org

Now that the POSIX folks have agreed on requiring that basename() and dirna=
me()
have to be thread-safe, there is even less of a need to provide our
FreeBSD-specific copy of basename_r(). Relevant links:

Old exp-run for adding POSIX versions of basename() and dirname():

As we no longer make use of basename_r() in our own base system, I would he=
reby
like to request an exp-run to see what happens if we remove it entirely. He=
re's
a patch I'm planning on committing:
