Well, remember also that the library version number indicates *binary* compatibility; what the ports, in general, are interested in is *source* compatibility, and the library version number does not necessarily help at all there. (Binary compatibility for packages being taken care of by the package versioning, which is oblivious to the shared libraries inside.) -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
