When FreeBSD switched from LKM -> KLD, the skip port broke (in -current) and was subsequently fixed by me. That was 6 months ago or so. More recently (in the past couple of weeks) the skip port was broken again (again, in -current only) due to the changes to the dev_t stuff. So as it stands now, it is broken for -current. However, it will work for 3.2 *but* you of course must get the right version of the port. Or you can get the head version and uncomment the BROKEN= line. That's the information I have :-) -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
