Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi,
The package aspectc++ does not build on kfreebsd since April now. The reason for this is, as I suspect, a bug or insufficienty in the fnctl() implementation on kfreebsd. In order to speed up compilation (ac++ is dead slow), the compilation is run in parallel where possible. However, each compilation step needs to store information about the found join points and woven advice instantiation in project wide "aspect repository", which needs to be guarded against concurrent updates from ac++ processes. And this locking now seems to fail fatally since upstream release 1.1. Before 1.1, AFAIUI locking didn't work either, and you ended up with a corrupt aspect repository -- rending the package pretty much useless IMO, but YMMV. This has been documented as #633402, and porters have already been asked for help. Unfortunately, no solution could be found. Therefore, I have to ask for an architecture specific removal in order to allow the package to migrate to testing.
