As we can view them not as a.out libs, but the libs you > need to run an GUI binary compiled on a 2.x box. The upgrade procedure will move aout X11R6 libs to /usr/X11R6/lib/aout. I don't think that /usr/X11R6/lib/compat is suitable, for the same reason that /usr/lib/compat is for elf compatibility libraries. We want to have aout things partitioned so that they can be pruned later. Get 'em out of the way and go elf! -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
