Just to keep it on this thread - I'm going to commit this to 4.16: +#warning "FreeBSD support is deprecated and planned for removal in July 2018" +#warning "Contact linux-xfs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx if you'd like to maintain this port" +#error "Remove this line if you'd like to continue the build" for to FreeBSD & the other platforms we're talking about deprecating. That should get the attention of anyone who cares, I think. If someone wants to step up and maintain it, let us know on the list. Thanks, -Eric -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
