Just a wild guess... but if you read the above you'll see two kill
statements, without conditionals around it, so my guess is that
even when the signal had already been send (kill 1), the information
regarding the pid etc remains in memory, and when you traverse the code,
it sends it again (kill 2).

Well the problem here imo (I am speaking for myself here, as well as in my previous reply) is that -you- cannot set the priorities for our developers unless you pay the developer to just that what you want to have. For you the AMD64 driver of the Nvidia GPU's might be interesting for someone else it isn't, you might or might not like that but interests can go a whole round and every step in that circle means a different interest. You and indeed a lot of others think it would be beneficial to have, but so far nobody stepped up who had enough time or interest or whatever to do this, if you all make a bounty for this or try something else to get this covered, I am pretty sure at least someone will do it (sometime). It's unfair from you to -demand- something from a volunteer project with software that you are free to use, or rather from developers' free time while you are seemingly not willing to spend your own free time on it (I would get the same reponse from you if I were to ask you to paint my entire house for nothing (and you are the one paying for the paint) where the house is a huge castle). So, if you want this really bad, and others as well, consider my above reasoning, till that time, we (including myself indeed) can only hope that at some point somebody has enough time and interest to start and finish this project.

Ofcourse like rsync.net you are free to sponsor these items if they are really important to you, without that, do notice that people do this in their own free time, which could either take some time before it's there, or might not be interesting enough to work on currently (because of other things at work, private life other code etc).

Re: Attansic L1 Gigabit LAN Controller
Hello Alex,
PErhaps you can start by submitting a boot -v and pciconf -vl from the
machine to identify the card? if it's a common thing we use at the moment
already; the addition -could- be trivial... but without any information
this is difficult.
Remember that something which is important for you might not be important
for others; demanding work from others is interesting every now and then;
so if you -urgently- and -really- need it, you could consider funding this
part :-)

Re: Tracing binaries statically linked against vulnerable libs
Hello,
The thing I would do with known applications that are linked statically
to a vulnerable version of ${Application} is bumping the version of the
port.
Why do i do that? If ffmpeg in this case is being updated and the
PORTREVISION of gstreamer as well, people get informed that they should
update, I would also mark it vulnerable (the version with the lower
PORTREVISION) so that people are "forced" to reinstall the application
which causes the link to reoccur with hopefully the fixed version.
We did that with xpdf as well as far as i can recall. and yes that was
like hell, but it has to be done to protect our user base.
Does this give enough hands and feeds to help you?
Cheers,
remko

Re: Bind within src-contrib
Johnson David wrote: From: Frank Laszlo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] How would you like a system with no host(1), dig(1), or nslookup(1)? I personally consider these tools essential for a freebsd system. Are these utilities used anywhere else in FreeBSD, such as the startup scripts? Are they something required by the vast majority of users? If not, I wouldn't consider them "essential". That doesn't mean I would move them to ports, as there's a lot of other non-essential software in the base system (biff, indent, etc.). David Imo this discussion does not belong here but on hackers@ so i changed the CC line for that. I will only reply on the part: "not having host, dig and nslookup available", since there might be other tools that can do the resolving part as well which i do not currently know. A system without resolver libraries and applications simply is not maintainable by default. If you have no resolving applications in your base system you will not be able to install a port or anything at all that requires remote access. Why? because your machine cannot map the www.freebsd.org host (example) to an ip address. Without being able to do so, it simply cannot find the ip address of the host where the files might live resulting in a failre to obtain the files. And well without files it will be difficult to install something... I hope this helps a bit in why resolving capabilities are needed in the base system. -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] FreeBSD ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reporter DSINET ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I think that what Daniel says is true, you cannot say that you support a product in a tier 1 status, while you have way to less people to resolve things. In my opinion it's also better to lower it then, and perhaps upgrade it again when more supporters are available to resolve issues. It takes more time to recover from "failed support" then by honestly saying that you don't have the manpower to support it in a tier 1 branch. Besides that i can understand that this will hit certain people, depending on the sparc64 tier 1 status, but perhaps they can support as well.. We need to resolve this with all of us, and if we cannot find enough people to help , then it should -sadly enough- be degraded in tier status. my $0.02 :) -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder Elvandar.org/DSINet.org www.mostly-harmless.nl Dutch community for helping newcomers on the hackerscene ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

If the machine is down, but I can still ping it, then the userland has crashed - the kernel is still running, which is why it responds to pings. But if it crashes and just reboots itself, then the kernel has crashed.

Excuse me, that is what i ment, (the logical drives) As said with Avinash, we could not access that as well, and he used to program he replied with (will be posted to this list when the admin approves :) ) to restore it's data. But perhaps that makes it also able to modify it a little to make it accessible by freebsd fdisk/disklabel (not sysinstall i think, since i think it calles fdisk or disklabel).

RE: [Freebsd-hackers] Re: FreeBSD 5.1 Installation probelms
Sorry to interupt, but i think that person x, since he has a weird name ;-) , means that the partitioning device of freebsd cannot access the extended partition at all. I had this with a friend of mine, and we could not access the devices anymore since it was packed inside another partition (we migrated from linux to freebsd) We needed to use a bit of software that could re-enable our partition. Perhaps Avinash can reply with the software name/ Also it is possible that your partition is held inside another one, how to resolve? No idea, i always started with a clean hdd, or a new one when the current on needed to be saved. Hope it helped a little.

Not sure though. Indeed you first have to resize the extended partition before you can use the space to create slices. The "fdisk" program that comes with Windows has no way to do this (except deleting all logicle drives in the extended partition and re-creating them). Have a look at the program "Partition Magic". It can resize partitions and it has a nice user interface. grtz, Daan ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ Freebsd-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.elvandar.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
RE: [Freebsd-hackers] Re: Where is FreeBSD going?
Mark, You are totally right with the stuff that is starting to stick. Let us all be happy and continue to support the freebsd.org core team. Internal fights are pretty common, no one can ever be happy with other's choices. But i think it's a shame that one would have to resign or worse the freebsd project hangs and perhaps gets killed by this foolish actions. Keep hanging tight guys!!!

Sorry yeah, I didn't phrase that all that well. I also fully support the people putting hours of their time into producing a great OS. I just think that with all of this mud being thrown, some of it is starting to stick.

RE: [Freebsd-hackers] Re: Where is FreeBSD going?
Hi all freebsd users, I Never ever noticed that these things are playing within freebsd.org I See a healthy and good working organisation behind freebsd.org I think they are really productional and give out releases a lot of times. I also think that's very sad news to recieve on these days, why are people sending this, But then again, i am a loyal freebsd.org fan, i will stick some of my machines with freebsd os'es, and i am sure the freebsd.org crew can handle this. You have my vote!!

I don't think thats the case _yet_, but, IMHO a lot of credibility is on the line now. If 5.3 does not become 5-STABLE, it will be lost.
