As i peruse the list of issues in -current, i can't help but wonder how BSD will still run older apps when it seems the system is being gutted. I see so many things being changed and tweaked and rewritten. Is the work being done now to make -current work with all the ports and basic system programs? Is this the period where all the breakages are being fixed? Or is this the period where the bridges to the past are burned in the name of progress, and now all ports must be from the -current collect rather than 3.x-stable? DOes this question make any sense? Here's another way to put it: with all the breakages being fixed for ports and other progs, do these usually have unwanted side effects? -=> jm <=- Please CC me on all replies ------------------------------------------------------- "The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very, very brightly."
