Replying to ancient history, it looks like this patch never got committed? The Debian kFreeBSD folks have run into a similar issue: http://lists.debian.org/debian-bsd/2011/06/msg00238.html proposing =============== Upstream could do it properly, without ABI breaking, i.e. by #define GIO_KEYMAP_OLD _IOR('k', 6, keymap_t) #define PIO_KEYMAP_OLD _IOW('k', 7, keymap_t) ... #define GIO_KEYMAP _IO('k', 16) #define PIO_KEYMAP _IO('k', 17) =============== Something to keep the ABI between 8 and 9 is probably still useful, even at this juncture. -Ben Kaduk _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
