Hi folks, I got permission from Jordan to merge the gawk-3.0.6 upgrade to STABLE. The upgrade solves a number of problems (some even reported as PR's). However, I drastically over-estimated my free time, and it doesn't look like I'm going to get time to test this myself. I am _not_ prepared to be the only guy to break world during release candidate phase. :-) If any kind soul out there would be willing to run the (huge) patch through a make world, mergemaster and boot (possibly even a few port installs), I'd be _very_ grateful. :-) The patch can be collected at: http://people.freebsd.org/~sheldonh/awk_upgrade.patch.gz Alternatively, you can derive and apply the patch yourself as follows: # To derive: cd /usr/src/contrib/awk cvs update -dPA cvs diff -udRN -rRELENG_4 -rHEAD >~/awk_upgrade.patch cvs udpate -dPA -rRELENG_4 # To apply: patch <~/awk_upgrade.patch No need to bug this already noisy list with your feedback. You can just mail me directly. Thanks in advance, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
