For CVSup the malloc comes from modula-3-lib, so it will be the same whether the package was built on -2.2 or -current. It's the latest version of phkmalloc, slightly modified for thread safety. Regarding other improvements in -current: The packages use shared libraries, so you should get the benefits of those improvements simply by running the program on a -current system. > Could somebody put -current version there? I don't really know what to do about this. I understand your desire for a package that's made for -current. But my -current machine usually isn't adequately up to date for building packages that are going to be publicly released. Even when I've done a make world, it still has X libraries (for example) which are somewhat old. And of course -current this week isn't the same as -current next week, so the packages would need to be updated regularly. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
