Actually, it's not all that bad. Jonathon just got hung up in one area that is relatively easy to fix (-stable libc_r already contains the ability to lock FILEs). When you are porting it, try to make it easy to keep the two versions in sync. Feel free to change -current's libc_r to accomodate this (i.e., use macros or something for __sys_XXX so that you can easily switch between _thread_sys_XXX and __sys_XXX). -- Dan Eischen To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
