Mike Smith replied to my suspicion: > I have the suspicion that if one sets LOADER_BZIP2_SUPPORT=YES > *without* LOADER_NO_GZIP_SUPPORT=YES then one can't load .bz2 > files, i.e. this patch really burns the gzip bridge for good. If this is really the case, it needs to be fixed. I've investigated this further, it was a bug in my local build (independant of 'make release') environment (WORLD_FLAGS was not propagated into that local build). This resulted in my customized boot floppies still containing the old gzip/no-bzip loader which failed to load .bz2 files. If we can fit a bzip+gzip loader on make release floppies, that would be good because someone could use their old floppies with the new loader. I.e. we should avoid LOADER_NO_GZIP_SUPPORT=YES for the time being. Adrian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
