Actually, without CVSUP'ing the sources or whatever, the best way to look at "up to date" sources (IMO) is the CVS repos. web interface. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/UPDATING Click on the link for the version branded RELENG_4 to get -STABLE's most recent copy: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/UPDATING?rev=1.73.2.8 The section on date 20000706 says it all (pretty much). There's nothing specifically mentioning bioscall.s -BUT- with the binutils update (meaning assembler, linker, blah blah blah) there had to be changes made to it. Without an updated "binutils" you can't assemble the file. The "buildkernel" target takes care of these sorts of wierd dependencies that crop up from time to time. The "tone" comes from frustration at what transpired with the binutils update into -STABLE and the whole "buildkernel" discussion. Look back into the mailing list archives for "buildkernel" and you'll find a whole huge thread about it. The developers just want people who "track -stable" to "read -stable" ... -Jr -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, Higher Levels of Abstraction | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
