Organization: Gutteklubben Terrasse X-url: http://www.ifi.uio.no/~dag-erli/ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit From: dag-erli@ifi.uio.no (Dag-Erling Coidan Smørgrav) Date: 22 Jan 1998 11:43:42 +0100 Message-ID: Lines: 14 X-Mailer: Gnus v5.5/Emacs 19.34 Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Are there any plans to commit Luigi Rizzo's audio drivers to the 2.2-STABLE branch? They've been around for quite some time, and they seem to work adequately. IMHO they are not much more experimental than, say, the PnP code, which has been in -stable for quite a while now. It's rather a pain in parts of the anatomy which shall remain unnamed to repatch the kernel source every time you cvsup RELENG_2_2. BTW, is there any reason why FreeBSD is still using old-style device nodes instead of devfs? Is there any reason why I shouldn't 'rm -rf /dev' and 'mount devfs /dev'? -- * Finrod (INTJ) * Unix weenie * dag-erli@ifi.uio.no * cellular +47-92835919 * RFC1123: "Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send"
