https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D226920 Bug ID: 226920 Summary: devel/glib20: pull the latest file monitor fix from upstream Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: gnome@FreeBSD.org Reporter: lantw44@gmail.com Assignee: gnome@FreeBSD.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(gnome@FreeBSD.org) Created attachment 191808 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D191808&action= =3Dedit Use kqueue and polling file monitor fixes from upstream This is a follow-up of bug 199872. GLib recently landed a patch contributed by OpenBSD to fix crashes in the kqueue file monitor backend. Yes, I know we already committed a fix for the problem in bug 199872, but I saw no change in the frequency of gnome-shell crashes. The new patch accepted by upstream seems to change it greatly. It works very well for me and it has been used and tested in OpenBSD ports. I = am unable to trigger any file monitor-related crash in gnome-shell, firefox, evolution. This new patch will be available in GLib 2.58 (GNOME 3.30). Given that we are slow on GNOME upgrades, can we replace the old patch committed = in bug 199872 with the new one to fix things more completely and allow broader testing? The patch I uploaded here includes 4 commits. The first 3 commits are alrea= dy committed to upstream repository, and the last one (written by me) is under review.
