gcc42 Hackaton: This coming weekend

We decided to have a concentrated bug fixing effort, hackaton if you please, this coming weekend, July 14-15, focused on fixing as many gcc42 failures in ports tree as possible. You’re all invited to join #bsdports on EFnet and show us your patches. We will be approving fixes to other people’s ports for maintainers who neglected their own ports (maintainer overrides). There is currently a little short of 400 ports that works on 6.2 but fail on 7.0, so there’s plenty of opportunities for you to help.

    Well this list is at the moment 6 days old.
    Most likely it is already too late, but an uptodate list would be very nice. BTW. My pet target amd64-current is more than a month old.

    I’m starting an amd64/current run in few hours (just after bindist updates) so we should have super-fresh list for the weekend.
