Just like bin/ and sbin/, I think setting WARNS to the highest value
possible will make it more attractive for people to fix warnings.
- The WARNS variable is set in the Makefile in the directory of the
application itself, making it more likely that it will be removed out
of curiosity to see what happens.
- New applications will most likely build with WARNS=6 out of the box,
because the author would more likely fix the warnings during
development than lower WARNS.
Unfortunately almost all apps in libexec require a lowered value of
WARNS.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
the Himalayas and become a hermit.)
Import new mknetid program. This replaces the crufty, soon to be defunct
mknetid script packaged with ypserv.
This program parses the group, passwd, hosts and netid databases into
the netid.byname map. Duplicate checking is performed using hash tables.
Testing on my 486DX2/66 with FreeBSD 2.1.0 showed that this program can
process a 30,000-entry passwd database into a netid map (along with
assorted group and hosts information) in about 22 seconds. On my SPARC IPX
with SunOS 4.1.3, it takes about 15 seconds. This compares favorably with
the SunOS mknetid program, which parses the same database(s) in 13 seconds.
(With smaller databases, my program is actually slightly faster. Go
figure.)
