And what's profit of such restriction? There were several cases when I was forced to extract somemodule.ko from FreeBSD distribution files and upload it to some customized installation such as FreeNAS or NAS4Free or another one running custom kernel and having stripped-down module set out-of-the-box. For example, ichwd.ko or something like that. And I was just happy I could do that and that just work. Why should we break it? _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
