It might be relevant if you want to propose the default inclusion of sem(4) into GENERIC (though I'm not sure if PC-BSD is a FreeBSD GENERIC kernel or one that has been adapted for PC-BSD). --=20 Peter Jeremy --XsQoSWH+UP9D9v3l Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkoJRhwACgkQ/opHv/APuIe9FQCfUV29OTMaro3N1oIMneU66LR2 SVwAnRaUynvm1C0RPj4uIvglDAugoXCh =SyLO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --XsQoSWH+UP9D9v3l--
