           Summary: NetBSD3 can be g/c
           Product: Exim
           Version: N/A
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: NetBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: bug
          Priority: low
         Component: Packaging
        AssignedTo: nigel@...
        ReportedBy: prlw1@...
                CC: exim-dev@...


exim-src/OS/os.h-NetBSD3 and exim-src/OS/Makefile-NetBSD3 may be removed, and
associated vestiges in exim-src/scripts/os-type (cf patch) tidied away.

os.h-NetBSD3 defines HAVE_SETCLASSCONTEXT which is no longer used by exim, and
setclasscontext() lives in libutil, which is why Makefile-NetBSD3 has the extra
-lutil linker flag.

I see that since I looked into this last year, SIOCGIFCONF_GIVES_ADDR has come
into being, which means that os.h-NetBSD3 is out-of-date too.

(I think the last debate around SIOCGIFCONF was roughly in NetBSD 1.4, i.e.,
way before NetBSD 3 - this is a different issue to if_storage appearing in
ifreq)

Created an attachment (id=344)
 --> (http://bugs.exim.org/attachment.cgi?id=344)
remove NetBSD3 from os-type - the other 2 files need to be removed from CVS by
hand..

Something up with bugzilla? Already attached this patch when making the
original report...

Why should NetBSD3 be removed?

If its obsolete why should it not stay in the tree for those that are
running systems that may not be updated for whatever reason?

It isn't the operating system which is obsolete, it is the files in the exim
source tree which are obsolete!

You should be able to compile exim happily on NetBSD 3 using the NetBSD
scripts/Makefile etc.
