Well, I tend to be clueless about who does and who doesn't have commit priviledges. Trying to keep up with the few hundred mailing messages I get every day is hard enough :-) Ok, that's good to hear, because the changes he made and sent to me made dish work, which makes me believe they are on the right track. There's a few other nagging issues about just how to search for dynamically loaded objects. The way Fresco is packaged, it tries to dlopen libblah.so. Since FreeBSD doesn't have symbolic links floating around to point to the latest libblah, this doesn't quite cut it. The question is, what is the best way to ask for libraries to dynamically load without running into various version problems? Doug and I haven't come up with a good solution.
