Satoshi is correct here, libc.so.2.1 was shipped with 2.0.5R, I just double checked the cdrom: usr/lib/libc.so.2.1 > * "libc.so.2.1" should be forward compatible. > > I'm not sure what your concern here is.

IMHO, we should pull the xdr changes in and bump the branch to libc.so.2.2, if we make additional libc changes in the main branch (HEAD) we will have to bump it to 2.3. > Whatever you decide to do, that's fine for us, as long as we are > consistent with our own version number policies.

This will mean that 2.0.5R -> 2.1 upgrade is going to be a bit harder, and require a bit more work. We did want to retain as much compatibility with 2.0.5R as possible, but, like usual, that has already been shot to pieces :-(. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
