X-BeenThere: freebsd-standards@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Standards compliance List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 04 Dec 2007 19:02:23 -0000 Hi, Few months ago I sent a mail to stable@freebsd.org in the hope to discuss struct timeval posix conformance in RELENG_6. http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?1397BA88-CC55-4585-86CB-3BD08FBABEF5 Given the few answers, I may have targetted the wrong mailing list or this change has no interest. So, here are the questions again : - Do you want FreeBSD 6 to conform posix specs for struct timeval ? (it's not always a right thing to do to strictly conform standards) - Is it ok to do it ? (if i'm correct there is a minor abi change and this could be a strong reason to stay as is) Best regards. -- Matthieu Michaud
