Given that most FreeBSD folks will probably use svscan.sh (haven't seen an exception yet), I'd put that as the higher priority. If you patch svscanboot, then that'd be icing one the cake, but not as useful as the modified svscan.sh. Leaving things as is would cause a world of problems, IMHO. Having svscan work out of the box is what people expect and they don't necessarily care how it works (and if they do, then they're probably wise/experienced enough to figure it out). Maybe a pkg-message is in order? > (which would incur DJB's wrath when problems are > reported back, lacking readproctitle's output..) ? Blah, his crankiness is his own fault: don't cater to it. > Should any of this be committed before 4.4 hits the streets? :) Most certainly! ;) -sc -- Sean Chittenden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
