My automatic Saturday morning script to rebuild from source failed this past Saturday morning while trying to build the kernel, as did many others'. My possible contribution to a fix is to place bounds upon the time when the bug was introduced. I run a completely vanilla sequence of cvs, make world, make kernel (and in parallel), make documentation. It is vanilla, that is, except for my custom kernel config. It worked the morning of November 3rd. It didn't work on the 10th. Except for the actual date, this past weekend's cvsup control file is typical: *default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default date=2001.11.10.08.00.00 *default tag=. doc-all *default tag=RELENG_4 src-all The automatic build process sets the date each time it is run. I haven't installed kernel or world since July 22, meaning that the tools used for make world and for make kernel were the same before and after the advent of the bug. So, it seems reasonable to me that it must have been introduced into STABLE after 8:00 GMT Saturday, November 3 and before 8:00 GMT Saturday, November 10. Since the first e-mail of the complaint tide (an e-mail from Greg Prosser <greg@straynet.com>) was dated 6:02 GMT Saturday, November 10, my guess is that the bug was introduced late last week. Like everyone else's, my process gets through building world and fails while building kernel in the linux module: In file included from linux_sysent.c:14: linux_proto.h:57: syntax error before `linux_time_t' linux_proto.h:57: `linux_time_t' undeclared here (not in a function) I'd be happy to provide any additional help I can to anyone interested in fixing this problem (and who is empowered actually to fix it). -- M/S 258-5 | 1024-bit PGP fingerprint: | tweten@nas.nasa.gov NASA Ames Research Center | 41 B0 89 0A 8F 94 6C 59 | (650) 604-4416 Moffett Field, CA 94035-1000 | 7C 80 10 20 25 C7 2F E6 | FAX: (650) 604-4377 We each earn what freedom of speech we defend for those who most offend us.
