Remove PCC from the base system. This compiler will not work |
| 153 |
+ |
as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment |
| 154 |
+ |
in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future. We're stuck |
| 155 |
+ |
with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum. |
| 156 |
+ |
|
| 157 |
+ |
I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is |
| 158 |
+ |
fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base |
| 159 |
+ |
system which makes no sense. |
| 160 |
+ |
|
| 161 |
+ |
A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to |
| 162 |
+ |
the kernel. This should cut down on commands it claims to support |
| 163 |
+ |
but does not (at the cam layer). Found while testing ZFS on |
| 164 |

an external device. |

The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve |
| 168 |

compatibility with many systems. However, there is a new |
| 169 |
+ |
installer option in the startup section to enable it. This |
| 170 |
+ |
makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks |
| 171 |

out my new Phenom too. |
