This is an issue for anyone who wants to use cvsup when running on 5.x-current on sparc64 hardware. >Description: The freebsd/sparc64 platform recently switched to 64-bit time_t's. ezm3, as it stands, does not handle this. This is bad for cvsup. Right now people using 64-bit time_t's are running a special ezm3 package that I have at http://people.freebsd.org/~gad : ezm3-64btt-1.1_1.tbz along with a special package of cvsup-without-gui as built by that version of ezm3, at: cvsup-without-gui-64btt-16.1h.tbz However, if they rebuild ezm3 from the present ports collection then they will run into problems with cvsup. >How-To-Repeat: This has been discussed on freebsd-sparc64 maling list. >Fix: I have a patch at: http://people.freebsd.org/~gad/time-64/port-ezm3.diff which, if applied to the port, will fix exm3. There is some debate as to whether this is the perfect fix, but it is at least a very workable and reliable way to solve the issue. One way or another, this issue with the ezm3 port should be addressed before we get to 5.3-release. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
