[chef-dev] Re: Re: Re: Re: FreeBSD Omnibus Support

[Sean OMeara < >]

Not sure if you guys got this working yet, but I did a port to SmartOS
(base64 1.8.4) a while back and ran into some of the same issues I'd
imagine you would on BSD

Check out the last comment on this ticket.
http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-2576

Pretty much all those patches are to fix C compilation issues with GCC
4.7 being strict about function prototype mismatches.
(int foo / void foo)

I'm not sure how LLVM/Clang will behave.

Another topic is BTM brought up is do we want to apply all patches to
all OS builds?
Or keep a "minimum viable patch set" set for each platform?
