As of today, I rebuilt world & kernel from a cvsup 2 days ago. Everything went smoothly, with no problems. I realize there have been some changes made to things related to softupdates, and have been following the -stable mailings. I did see somewhat a degradation in disk activity with softupdates off, but for my usage, nothing that would seriously hurt. Question.. in the last 30 days, maybe more, were any really significant problems squashed with softupdates? I was absent for about 2 weeks between Jan and early Mar, so didn't see everything. I may get fussed at for this, but who do I need to ask about bringing / porting a software package into the *bsd realm? Thanks..
