ALTQ was imported June 12th 2004 in= to=20 =46reeBSD.

You need patches from rofug.ro which are outdated and you have to compile t= he=20 pf port with special options etc. etc. ... All in all nothing you want to b= e=20 near. I urge - once again - that everybody who is considering pf in=20 productive use should move to RELENG_5 and get everything out of the box an= d=20 in way better shape than possible in 5.2.1 + port (+ altq patches ...) > Currently my supfile uses RELENG_5_2 as the tag is this the problem?

Though it will work and is in productive use on quite a f= ew=20 big sites, I suggest everybody who wants to build a productive pf(+altq)=20 system today to check out 5.3R ... the BETA releases are already much highe= r=20 quality than the 5.2.1 (technologie demo) release. There are some pending=20 issues, but chances are that you will never hit them - while the chance for= =20 hitting something bad in 5.2.1 + pf-port + altq-patches is *way* bigger! =2D-=20 /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News --nextPart1183746.0xYKexpAmU Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBcEAyXyyEoT62BG0RAt1hAJ9sZJd6FLy07dSxENX8CRVBP8Rj/QCfRRLt q8DHjo9Ugphc2yg18vcNT78= =HRpN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1183746.0xYKexpAmU--
