I don't see a need to delay that fix. I have some other changes to linux_base-8 in my mega-patch too. Some of those don't need a delay too, but since the "bugs" are there very long, it doesn't hurt to wait until portmgr is able to test the complete patch. Since the above patch doesn't fix the complete issue (at least not on amd64), and since nobody stepped up to commit it yet, I offered to include the fix in my patchset. I don't mind if you (or someone else) commit the above patch now. >> If your proposal is orthogonal to David's work I can integrate it into >> my mega patch (which is supposed to get a test run on the ports build >> cluster) too. > > I'd really like to hold off on the rest of this patch until /usr/ports is > totally unfrozen and we can do some ARCH clean ups that is needed.

While discussing this: Since your ARCH cleanup touches alot of ports and is a candidate for testing on the cluster, shouldn't we merge our patches and just let portmgr test the entire patchset? This may reduce the amount of conflict resolution work needed in case one patch hits the tree while the other is between two test runs. I will sync my patchset at the weekend (friday in the evening or saturday/sunday in the morning). Feel free to send a corresponding diff for integration to me.
