Daniel this is not the first time you've screwed the Alpha users with loader commits/upgrades. Once was forgivable, twice is frankly quite unforgivable. You have once again _wasted_ a significant amount of your fellow developer's time. I want the backing of Core that NO FICL upgrades or major .4th changes can be committed until they have been tested (compiled and booted) on all platforms. I really don't think I would be allowed to upgrade the toolchain if it had only been tested on Alpha and x86. I fail to see why something as important and fundamental as the loader (and harder to replace if you FUBAR it and loader.old) should be any different. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
