Re: firefox instability may be fixed now in HEAD
:I'm still using 2010Q1. Should I switch to the 2.8 build of packages once I :recompile the kernel and world? : :Pierre We won't have 2.8 packages until about a week after netbsd rolls Q3. In fact, right now we are waiting for netbsd to roll Q3 so we can roll the 2.8 release branch and start building packages. I think the 2.6 and 2.7 packages are Q2. The firefox in Q2 is firefox-3.6.9. I've had good stability with the recent patches except for one annoying firefox lockup which occurs w/ slashdot when entering text into a text field. It's possible that some of the dependencies aren't compatible but I won't know until I can reload my /usr/pkg with a fresh set of packages from scratch. -Matt Matthew Dillon
Re: What does "HAMMER UPGRADE" flag means during hammer cleanup

I'm not sure why it decided it needed to do that if the filesystem was already v4 (and assuming the hammer utility wasn't an old copy either). It is a one-time process when it does happen. -Matt Matthew Dillon

Hmm that's sad. I was under the impression that all the GSoC projects went really well. What seems to be the problem with the GEM API? Petr
Re: firefox instability may be fixed now in HEAD
:I've had Firefox crash on me. What were the issues? : :Pierre A double free can occur in the nmalloc code when a pthreads thread is torn down (which firefox does quite a bit). There is also a library call issue with libgcc that can cause firefox to exit on a dynamic loader symbol not found when it triesto run certain operations. Both libc and libthread_xu have to be rebuilt, but it is best to just rebuild the whole world (people trying to upgrade from bases which are too old will get caught up with syscall changes and that requires a full buildworld/installworld). -Matt Matthew Dillon

firefox instability may be fixed now in HEAD
Firefox became a bit unstable due to two issues which are now fixed in HEAD (in the world build, not the kernel). People running HEAD who are experiencing unexpected firefox window closures can re-test w/ the latest and see if they go away. -Matt Matthew Dillon
What does "HAMMER UPGRADE" flag means during hammer cleanup
Hi, While running hammer cleanup a new pfs i created and mounted showed cleanup /vms/vm-archlinux- HAMMER UPGRADE: Creating snapshots Creating snapshots in /var/hammer/vms/vm-archlinux handle PFS #8 using /var/hammer/vms/vm-archlinux snapshots - run prune - run rebalance - run.. reblock - run recopy - run where as the old pfses does not show the "HAMMER UPGRADE" flag cleanup /usr - handle PFS #3 using /var/hammer/usr snapshots - run prune - run rebalance - run.. reblock - run recopy - run There is no need to upgrade the pfs because it is actuall on hammer version 4. So is there any thing I need to know about this falg? :-) thanks --Siju
