I'd rather have the (still few) people work on DragonFly itself and not on some third party software. If you like to spend your time on submitting patches upstream, yay! > I cannot understand how at one point we're all about 'lets do this the right > way' and then we introduce hacks like this. We had this hack before, just even more ugly. *All* major opensource operating systems I checked (Linux, FreeBSD-4, FreeBSD-5/6, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris) do it about this way (well in fact exactly the way we did before). This shows that we are ALONE against ALL THE STUPID APPLICATION PROGRAMMERS OUT THERE. Welcome to sisyphus country. Heya Don Quichote! It just doesn't work to enforce standards compliance for third-party products when you are such a fucking small group of people. If you can propose a plan to get our source right and at the same time get third-party software compiled and/or correctly fixed, tell us. cheers simon -- Serve - BSD +++ RENT this banner advert +++ ASCII Ribbon /"\ Work - Mac +++ space for low $$$ NOW!1 +++ Campaign \ / Party Enjoy Relax | http://dragonflybsd.org Against HTML \ Dude 2c 2 the max ! http://golden-apple.biz Mail + News / \
