I've attempted to send a couple of messages to stable during
the past few days, but the upgrade to 4.1 RC0 nuked my
sendmail.cf; therefore my address rewriting rules are gone and I
imagine the messages were quietly round-filed as a result.
I've seen a couple of problems with some of the ports, one of
which was caused by a recent commit in /src/sys/net/if_var.h. Here is
the list:
1. GIMP does not compile. It fails while trying to build
libgnomeui in the gnomelibs package. I've already filed a PR
for this.
2. VMWare does not compile. It fails in vmnet, tripping over
the altered signature to ether_ifattach() in the
newly-committed /src/sys/net/if_var.h. If you look at the
diff, you'll see that an extra int parameter has been added.
And, of course, the deletion of my sendmail.cf was rather annoying,
but I can fix that easily enough.
I don't think that either of these are showstoppers, but item #2
is rather troubling to those people who use VMWare heavily--especially
when they're beset by those lost souls who push Linux all the
time. :-(
I have not yet filed a PR for the VMWare problem. I thought I
might try to cook up a patch first, if I can find some time.
