Typo in pkg_check(1) manpage
A minor error, to be sure, but still something that can be corrected. When I call up the manpage for pkg_check(1), it calls up the pkg_sign(1) manpage, which describes usage for both programs. The problem is under the "NAME" section, where it says: "pkg_sign, check_sign - handle package signatures" However, it ought to read: "pkg_sign, pkg_check - handle package signatures" The program check_sign doesn't even come on my system. :) -- Andrew Hesford [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message

The machine is: The -mcpu is redundant -march includes it. Will also reiterate that combining -march with optimization levels other than -O (-O2, -O3, -Os) does tend to break more often than not. Using -mcpu is much less problematic. Will be curious to see using -O2 for world and kernel builds will break with the new flags. Matt may have given up on it, but it has been working (again) for months now. Keep expecting it to break, which these changes most likely will. The text in make.conf is sufficient, but at first the name of the flag (CPUTYPE) made me think more of -mcpu than -march. At least the gcc flag is on the same line and it should not matter. Those tweaking the flags are on there own and should be familiar the mechanisms involved. Am also curious if some port builds might be affected.

Because you may want OpenSSL ASM optimizations, but not want to compile the entire world with -march. Or, perhaps you want to temporarily override the adding of -march to CFLAGS while you compile something. Kris PGP signature

Re: ARCH flag in new make.conf
I think the point is that you can be no more certain that Mr. Hartman's problems were *not* caused by setting the -march flag to i686 than I can be absolutely certain that they were. Given no better than 50/50 certainty, however, the warning appeared prudent given that we're unlikely to know with anything substantially better than 50/50 on release day and the penalty for being "wrong" is fairly high, whereas the penalty for being "right" is no worse than a gratuitous warning which scares a few people away from an option which wouldn't have saved them anything truly substantial in any case. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message

I've just committed the following patch: No, I think you're overreacting significantly here -- there just isn't a large amount of evidence showing that -march=<...> produces bad code, and this is the first suggestion I've heard that it does so.

Re: Oh no...
Of course, this won't help you now, but it serves as a clever warning. Regardless of your backup procedure, it is always wise to make a backup copy of your boot sector. In fact, as well as on another disk, I believe you can store a copy on the disk in question itself. Between the MBR and the first partition, there is a section of null space. If it is big enough, one can use careful math to place a copy of the bootsector in the gap. A few seconds with dd and you would have a working system right now. :) Sorry, and good luck.
