Requiring each person who makes a change to compile it on every possible arch is not something that will scale as more and more archs are added. If a committer can get someone else to perform some of these test compiles and fix any brokenness that comes up I think that is adequate. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
