FreeBSD

由于磁盘故障，ftp.freebsdchina.org 暂时无法提供服务了(初步估计是panic掉了)。更头疼的是，由于连续5年运行没有出过什么严重问题，这台机器在机房的位置恐怕也不太好找了。

It seems that John Baldwin has published a debugging helper script for gdb, which is interesting to have a look at:

Maybe we can extend it to have some VM inspection function as well? :-)

之前用Safari访问很多中文网页都有问题，今天端木同学帮忙看了一下，发现是默认语言顺序导致的问题。不过调整之后，Firefox又毛病了……不知道是否应该在里面装个FreeBSD，然后再到FreeBSD里面装个X？:P

It seems that my box loses its uptime record after I have migrated it to the Yizhuang IDC. The two things are related, but technically speaking, they are not. Actually I have discovered gokeeper’s hosts losed their uptimes as well, but I did not know why before. Sometimes I thought that was because the Linksys switch we have used, but there are some evidence that it is not; also I have at a point doubted the Cisco devices were misconfigured or have some firewalling features, but that’s not the answell, either.

less is a very popular command line tool that is distributed with a lot of *nix distributions. Thanks goes to David Wolfskill (our postmaster) who helped the test.

The current plan is to MFC less(1) before 6.2-RELEASE’s freeze, but because the date is near, we may want to change the plan.

Today Hiroki Sato has committed the long waited www/ cleanup mega-patch. Key features:

• Localized sgml, xmls and xslts are moved into <lang>/share/sgml/.
• Duplicated stuff between English and localized versions are eliminated as much as possible.
• Switched to use a custom FreeBSD DTD for HTML.

一直有人抱怨FreeBSD的bsdlabel(8)和fdisk(8)不好用，而进一遍sysinstall又太过麻烦，因此这次有人把磁盘编辑器从sysinstall(8)里面拆了出来，作了一些修改使其成为了一个新的工具——sade(8)。

今天在改rtld-elf的时候发现，它定义了一个函数指针数组，其内容是参数不定的，于是定义为：

typedef void (*func_ptr)();

然而，在较高的警告级别下，这一写法会被gcc认为不是prototype。

总有一天把它重写了……想知道为什么：
cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install && make WARNS=6

新影联网站 (http://www.beijingfilm.net/index.php) 几乎所有的页面都会弹出：「建议您使用微软的IE 6.0浏览器，以便您可以更好地使用本站的强大功能！」的alert，而原因则是我使用的浏览器是Firefox，而操作系统则是FreeBSD。
