Doug Barton

Today I have submitted a PR which I have marked “critical”. bsd.port.mk does not do the right thing on RELENG_6 after the rcorder change, which will cause all ports installed rc.d scripts stop to function at system startup.

The PR can be accessed here: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=93536

UPDATE(20060219): It seems that the problem is not related to this. I am still investigating what was happening.

UPDATE(20060220): Doug Barton has kindly provided information about the issue. It was because some nojail and mountcritlocal conflict. The issue can only appear when you are using jail(8).

Today FreeBSD will have its 5.3-RC1 if there is no other problem occours. I have sent a private mail to Doug Barton about a strange issue I have in BIND9, however, it does seem to be serious enough nor it is clear to determine the impact. I may post it later on a public list.

5.3-RC1 is also the point that I can suggest you to install 5-STABLE instead of 4-STABLE because most of the show-stopping issues are addressed and being corrected.
