He should not have to go through the entire source tree and fix all new warning messages in the entire project. > > .... We want to make this > > import stuff as easy on David as we can, no?

Increasing the ERROR-level in makefiles is not something which is urgent, and it seems a reasonable courtesy to David to hold off on that for a few weeks. Hmm. I guess a question to David is: "what is the target-date for switching current over to gcc3?". I've been assuming that is pretty close to happening... -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
