GCC-2.6.1 COMES TO FREEBSD-current
----------------------------------
Everybody needs to 'make world'.
Oakland, Nov 2nd 1994. In a surprise move this sunny afternoon, the release-
engineer for the slightly delayed FreeBSD-2.0, Poul-Henning Kamp (28),
decided to pull in the new version 2.6.1 of the GNU C-compiler.
The new version of the compiler was release today at noon, and hardly 9
hours later it was committed into the FreeBSD-current source-repository.
"It's is simply because we have had too much trouble with the version 2.6.0
of the compiler" Poul-Henning told the FreeBSD-Gazette, "we took a gamble
when we decided to use that as our compiler for the 2.0 release, but it
seems to pay of in the end now" he concludes.
The move has not been discussed on the "core" list at all, and will come as
a surprise for most Poul-Hennings peers. "I have only discussed it with
Jordan [J. K. Hubbard, the FreeBSD's resident humourist], and we agreed that
we needed to do it, so ... I did it!". After a breath he added with a grin:
"My email will probably get an all time 'disk-full' now!".
This will bring quite a flag-day to the FreeBSD developers, the patch-file
is almost 1.4 Megabyte, and they will have to run "make world" to get
entirely -current again. "Too bad, but we just had to do this." Was
the only comment from Poul-Henning to these problems.
When asked how this move would impact the 2.0 release-date, Poul-Hennings
face grew dark, he mumbled some very Danish words while he moved his fingers
in strange geometrical patterns. Immediately something ecclipsed the Sun, a
minor tremor shook the buildings, and the temperature fell significantly.
We decided not to pursure the question.

JOB-SECTION

Are you a dedicated GCC-hacker ?
We BADLY need somebody to look at the 'freebsd' OS in gcc, sanitize it and
carry the patches back to the GNU people. In particular, we need to get
out of the "i386-only" spot we are in now. I have the stuff to take a
gnu-dist into bmake-form, and will do that part.
Please apply to phk@freebsd.org
No Novice Need Apply.
I guess this means we have a precedent for this.. :-)
While looking for this one, I found the following (also pasted for the
humour value):

Fine, then. Let's get on with it. Reduce shared library version numbers!
Uh, Sir, with all due respect ...
DO YOU HEAR ME??? REDUCE SHARED LIBRARY VERSION NUMBERS!!!
Reducing shared library version numbers! ... <*whirr click*> Done!
All right, soldier, let's get the hell out of here... Soldier? ... Soldier??
Revision Changes Path
1.4 +6 -2 ports/lang/modula-3/Makefile
1.2 +1 -1 ports/lang/modula-3/patches/patch-ah
1.4 +0 -4 ports/lang/modula-3/pkg/DESCR
1.3 +34 -34 ports/lang/modula-3/pkg/PLIST
Maybe we should have cross-referenced that for the libc/stdio/etc version
stuff....
Cheers,
