[sorry if i don't post this to -ports, but i feel
that this is really a -stable issue as it affects
one widely used port]

I am not sure if i am the only one, but on RELENG_6,
linux-firefox 2 is basically unusable (see details below),
while linux-firefox 1.5 is at least usable (even though
it has some memory leak so after a while its size grows
well above 3-400MB).

Would it be possible to resurrect the linux-firefox 1.5
port (under a separate name) so at least people have a choice
on which set of bugs they prefer ?

The problems with linux firefox 2.0 are that after a little bit of
browsing (let's say 50-100 pages) some of its threads seem to lock
up, functions on the gui stop working (e.g.  clicking on the tabs
does not work anymore) and in the end you have to kill it hard.

I have submitted a PR with more details.

Install 6.2 from cd and don't update the ports. The 1.5 port is there.
Only after I updated the ports it installed the new 2.0.0.1 port.

Re: ath0 weak connectivity

[Radu Adrian Zdrinca]

I have had similar problems with the driver. The signal quality in
Windows is higher. But there are other problems. For example, when I
start Limewire I have to wait for about 3 minutes before it loads. I
am sure this is a problem with ath interface.

 I've just comitted a fix to syscalls.master and regenerated the remaining
 system call files, which should correct the auditctl: Invalid Argument error
 being returned by auditd.  In short order, this fix should be on the cvsup
 mirrors -- please let me know if it resolves the problem you were
 experiencing.

auditd up and running, tnx Robert.

I will submit more information.

  Julian, meet Kris.  Kris has been the head of the FreeBSD ports team for

  Kris, meet Julian.  Julian has been a FreeBSD user, contributor, and

  the many years worth of emails I've seen from him, he seems like a
  pretty decent and smart fellow.
 
  Julian, meet Paul Saab.  Paul was a key FreeBSD developer for many years

Re: ath0 weak connectivity

[Radu Adrian Zdrinca]

I'm sorry that I don't have freebsd on my system to do more testing
but I'm pretty sure it's the ath0 interface that's causing the issue.
When the interface is down limewire starts normally but when it's up
it takes about 3 minutes to load. I have tried upgrading to stable but
it's still the same issue. I will try to reinstall to do some more
testing.

If I recall correctly, Limewire is java-based p2p app and java on Linux
and FreeBSD requires a bit more resources than on Windows (according to
SUN's recommendations i read the last time). I guess this is due to
different strategies for memory management in the implementation of Java
VM. It depends on what machines you are running java - on slower ones,
or such with less memory, the time for loading java vm, and the time for
allocation of memory for bigger apps may vary quite a lot, but 3 minutes
looks like more problem of slow dns resolving, if many peers are
connecting to you, etc..

I suppose this is not related to problems with driver, but anything is
possible, just better testing and more investigations can prove that..

Cheers,
Emil
