>Environment:
System: FreeBSD g1-37.catwhisker.org 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #779: Fri May 23 06:28:42 PDT 2008 root at g1-37.catwhisker.org:/common/S4/obj/usr/src/sys/CANARY i386
>Description:
I use the ap-utils port to configure one of my access points.
I was thus a bit surprised to see the claim that it "Does not
work with gcc4.2" and appears to be abandoned.
So I booted up CURRENT & tried it; it worked.
g1-37(8.0-C)[34] gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i386-undermydesk-freebsd
Configured with: FreeBSD/i386 system compiler
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.2.1 20070719 [FreeBSD]
g1-37(8.0-C)[35]
I don't have ready access to other architectures to test, but the
only arch reported as having an issue on <http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=net-mgmt&portname=ap-utils>
was ia64, which I am informed is no longer a concern.
>How-To-Repeat:
Replace the port, remove the "BROKEN" speciffication, and build it.
That should demonstrate that the claim of "brokenness" is specious.
I'm also willing to be the port maintainer.
