But someone has to do that, and I made a decision that it was better to commit /something/ than for everyone involved to run out of time and nothing to be committed. eg - a lot of ARM and MIPS work. So yes, I'd love to see it fixed. I mean, heck, I fix up other stuff and I completely forgot that this was still split. But geom_ulzma / geom_gzip actually got us a whole lot of MIPS (and maybe some ARM) users, so I believe it was worthwhile. Thanks, -adrian
