I realize you are being a jerk on purpose but regardless : 1) 9.11.26 builds perfectly out of the box with no issues 2) 9.11.27 fails to build with a bucket of undefined symbols 3) 9.11.28 fails to build in the same manner 4) 9.11.29 why waste my time looking here ? 5) 9.11.30 does not even exist ... please play again 6) 9.11.31 fails to build with a bucket of undefined symbols 7) dig around madly into 9.11.26 to see if *something* has gone wonky thereafter ... rebuild it and watch everything "just work" 8) change some compiler flags, look at the CPPFLAGS and begin digging into the Makefiles to see where things have gone bork 9) find that the Makefile in bin/tools is in fact bork bork bork 10) compare the Makefile in bin/tools with the results from 9.11.26 11) find possible bork botk bork and begin to hack in some silly edits to get past the bin/tools portion of this mess 12) that works and now other things break, so begin a pile of sed and grep and awk and such over ALL the Makefiles everywhere and determine that in fact yes they are all borked slightly I call all of those four days of work a pile of hack. On an old legacy platform that no one wants to keep running anymore, and it just keeps running and running. I don't know what you call it. I just say that releases after 9.11.26 are borked. However only slightly and in places no one would look at anyways. -- Dennis Clarke RISC-V/SPARC/PPC/ARM/CISC UNIX and Linux spoken GreyBeard and suspenders optional _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list ISC funds the development of this software with paid support subscriptions.
