Nope. You fix the alignment problems, and then send them to the port maintainer, who probably doesn't own an Alpha machine, and then they include them as the patches. Ideally, as a port, the patches then get sent back to the maintainers of the original code, and they disappear from the port the next time it's updated (_that_ part is done by the maintainer, as well as the initial FreeBSD portability, which doesn't include things like 64 bit cleanliness or the architecture specific changes within an OS, unless the port maintainer has the time and equipment). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
