The longest patch has 68 chars, so I'm still below that.

Or we aren't switched to the creation of ustar format archives for the release yet? Looks like a inexcusable omission to me if so, because patches for this were submitted by me to the re@ team before 4.6-RELEASE, but back then were voted down, because it was noticed that old tar(1) shipped with 4.6 was unable to properly extract archives in the ustar format. I've supposed that those patches were included into 4.7, but actually never bothered to check for sure. Please at least include them into 5.0, so that the problem is closed once for all. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
