Hi Bruce, et. al., For network.c (src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/network.c), we appear to have a tagging issue. In version 1.55, I see that you've removed PPP/SLIP code (very nice -- originally started out this e-mail with a request to remove erroneous call to `slattach' which is no longer available in 8.x but was pleasantly surprised to find that the deed had already been done by you 2.5 weeks ago). However, I am seeing that the call to `slattach' still exists in RELENG_8, RELENG_8_1, RELENG_8_1_0_RELEASE, RELENG_8_0, and RELENG_8_0_0_RELEASE. Yet... the CVS comment for the commit of version 1.55 of network.c in MAIN/HEAD which you entered does indeed indicate that the lack of `slattach' (used in mediaInitNetwork) should propagate to all 8.x tags. Your CVS comment for 1.55: "FreeBSD 8 doesn't support kernel PPP or SLIP; remove code for configuring and installing via such devices from sysinstall." -brucec I am just curious... Is a branching of network.c in the works for the remaining FreeBSD-8.x tags? I only ask because I'm doing a top-down remediation of sysinstall(8)'s use of external executables in RELENG_8 and found that `slattach' does not exist yet is still conditionally called. -- Cheers, Devin Teske -> CONTACT INFORMATION <- Business Solutions Consultant II FIS - fisglobal.com 510-735-5650 Mobile 510-621-2038 Office 510-621-2020 Office Fax 909-477-4578 Home/Fax devin.teske@fisglobal.com -> LEGAL DISCLAIMER <- This message contains confidential and proprietary information of the sender, and is intended only for the person(s) to whom it is addressed.
