You're jumping on him a bit hard. It's pretty obvious that: 1) It used to work 2) Someone changed something that broke things 3) People complained about the breakage 4) The someone who broke things didn't unbreak them The simplest patch is obtained from: cvs diff -D "date before it broke" i.e.: back out whatever change is screwing everyone over. It's a reasonable thing to want, if the original author of the breakage is unwilling/unable to unbreak things. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
