When I ask coders for improving something : the answer is always no... Or no answer...
Cosmos, as always: It depends. We're talking about bugs vs. features, just to give you a hint.
I asked you by email about updating the mmu.library (to make it romable if my memory is good...) and your answer was no some years ago...
The answer was "no" because it is a) not possible without unreasonable hackery, and b) it is not even the right goal. I know we disagree on this, but in my opinion, as much software needs to be *removed* from the ROM as possible, to keep kickstart updates as seemless as possible. It's called "software" for a good reason. This is in good tradition with many other constructions we find in the PC market and elsewhere. Anyhow - Don't you think that if the author and a contributer of software disagree about the target of a project that the author should have the final word? Anyhow, you can convince me *why* it should be rom-able, but I really don't see it. If it is, you must also make the 680x0.libraries ROM-able, which is equally hard, and - as I say - equally undesirable.
So now I do by myself without any permession, I don't care... (I won't reverse your mmu.library, stay cool, ok ?!)
Amiga Classic 68k must evolve by any ways : if no evolution, it's the complete death...
I don't disagree with the "evolution" part, but please understand that this requires a somewhat more coordinated approach than what you are doing right now. Yes, it costs time and might be anoying, but you need to *talk* to people. You can even talk to Hyperion or Olsen, you know, if you need to get some sources. It is, as always, a matter of how you approach them, and how you can motivate that you want to do what you want to do. It takes longer, but it is the better strategy. It is also a matter of politics and personal engagement, and yes, that's all complicated, but necessary.
For BenchTrash : it's a missing "moveq #1,d0" just after a "jsr -$42(a6)"... I'll remove my patch only is you release a fixed version quickly...
Can you please give me a segment and an offset, to allow me to find the location? Thank you. I'm really not asking for much. PS: I don't think anything I write here is "silly", or "unreasonable". You've found a bug (likely), which is good. I thank you for that. All I'm asking you is to make that report in proper form to "evolve AmigaOs further", as you put it correctly. The tactics of just patch the stuff is, I afraid, counter productive since then the bug will re-appear next version again. Quite simple, isn't it?
