Folks like John Baldwin and myself have had to assist on mailing lists to decode the MCEs reported. Example: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2011-October/064082.html John has provided patches to allow building Linux's mcelog(8) utility on FreeBSD for quite some time: http://people.freebsd.org/~jhb/mcelog/ P4: //depot/projects/mcelog/ To make it easier for users to benefit from this, I put together a port (sysutils/mcelog) using John's patches. Important is the fact that fact that his patches will be manually incorporated into files/, rather than fetched from his site. This is to guarantee the port will always build/work even if John updates his patches on his site. I will be the maintainer of this port, and if John changes his patches, he will communicate with me privately, and I will thus submit PRs to update this port. NOTE #1: I have been in private contact with John and he has given his approval for this port which include a slightly modified version of his patch. Quote: "Please feel free to go forward with this." NOTE #2: I have not tested this port with portlint. >How-To-Repeat: n/a >Fix: Port directory and its contents available here: http://jdc.parodius.com/freebsd/mcelog.tar.gz MD5 (mcelog.tar.gz) = 54b6cca752d258b03314484f42cbd1fa SHA1 (mcelog.tar.gz) = 3b785ef1e5ae762643163ebbcada2f4d61cc2285 Let me know if a uuencoded version is needed here in the PR instead. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
