https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227635 Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |cem@freebsd.org --- Comment #2 from Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> --- This shouldn't be done solely for a piece of broken ports software. This is a big change, not to mention ABI-breaking. It can't go to stable/* but the port needs to work on stable/*, presumably. The supplied patch also isn't sufficient to fix up the fallout (particularly, libc glob allocates a bunch of MAXPATHLEN buffers on the stack, which becomes much worse with a 4kB length). Here is a little more thorough treatment of the issue: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D12330 (it also bumps MAXNAMLEN from 255 to 1023 — long enough to hold 255 arbitrary Unicode characters in UTF-8). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
