I am afraid I do not have enough time to create it now, but I have a simple one which includes the bumped shared libraries and locale files. It is available from: - port skeleton: http://people.allbsd.org/~hrs/FreeBSD/compat5x.tar.gz - distfiles: http://people.allbsd.org/~hrs/FreeBSD/compat5x-alpha-5.4.tar.gz http://people.allbsd.org/~hrs/FreeBSD/compat5x-i386-5.4.tar.gz http://people.allbsd.org/~hrs/FreeBSD/compat5x-ia64-5.4.tar.gz http://people.allbsd.org/~hrs/FreeBSD/compat5x-pc98-5.4.tar.gz http://people.allbsd.org/~hrs/FreeBSD/compat5x-sparc64-5.4.tar.gz I guess this may need some more work but it works. Any comments are welcome. Also, I have a request for compat5x which I did not include into my prototype yet---rebuilding libc.so.5 with _PATH_LOCALE=/usr/local/share/compat/locale in paths.h and make the old binaries use the old version of LC_* files included in the package. This is because incompatibility of on-disk format of LC_* files is a big hurdle especially for people in Asian countries, who heavily depend on setlocale(3) when they upgrade their system from 5.x to 6.x. -- | Hiroki SATO ----Security_Multipart(Sat_Aug_20_04_49_46_2005_281)-- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDBjfaTyzT2CeTzy0RAgY4AKDVnpiDYpqM0qZwKGh8RQuwXn+n6ACdEyeo 7yXiciI8Chd7uWJcscqduvQ= =IQSL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----Security_Multipart(Sat_Aug_20_04_49_46_2005_281)----
