Couldn't you have _asked_ first before filing a PR for non-bugs? What do you think we are using to produce the releases? ``make release'' :) Get me right: we always prefer a PR over an informal notice to freebsd-bugs about a problem. I've even started to refile messages that went to -bugs as PRs, on behalf of the submitter. But, for things like these, a quick question to something like freebsd-current first is always appropriate. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
