I grabbed the new makewhatis sources from -current, rebuilt everything, and I still get broken pipes. 8( Sounds like I need a plumber with some Perl experience. ;) Joking aside, is there anything I can do to help out with this? I'm not much of a code jockey, but I've got a few development systems I can do testing on if that helps. --Andy -----Original Message----- From: Kent Stewart [mailto:kstewart@urx.com] Sent: Friday, February 09, 2001 1:04 PM To: Andrew.Hodgkins@hurlburt.af.mil Cc: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Proposed makewhatis perl script fix Andrew.Hodgkins@hurlburt.af.mil wrote: > > I noticed this hasn't made it to -stable yet. Just an oversight, or did > something break? Actually, I don't think it fixed everything. There have been ports that also had problems with piping to tar and broken pipes. It wouldn't surprise me if the makewhatis problem was only a little piece of what is broken.
