That page is the archive of the tech-kern@netbsd.org mailing list, and as such can't be changed (much less by me). I provided it because it offers a very good technical explanation of the patch, which I didn't want to repeat. I took the patch there almost verbatim, except for, obviously, the exact placement of the code, and the comments; I didn't take the latter because the person who wrote it isn't a natural English speaker (as far as I can tell, anyway), and as such didn't write such great comments ("such great" being a reference to the English grammar and spelling, not their technical accuracy). > > I'd certainly like to see this committed - I'm sick of backing up > release directories, cvs repositories and /usr/obj :-) Yes, this was my motivation for porting this, too. :-) Thanks Dima Dorfman dima@unixfreak.org P.S. I just sent this patch to -audit per request of rwatson. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
