It was introduced to help with the a.out->elf=20 transition, reasoning being that elf shared objects don't really _require_= =20 the complete versioning to be represented in the filename and they'd be eas= y=20 to distinguis from a.out libs with x.y. However, the a.out days are past long enough now to seriously consider=20 allowing elf shared objects to have more freefrom (and possibly more=20 meaningful) names again (just like on that other OS). The main reason we're= =20 getting away with our funny naming for elf shared objects so easily in port= s=20 is that libtool deals with it for us. =2D-=20 ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --nextPart1769625.rPXp3BD3E6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBrEuVXhc68WspdLARAvWjAJ9IkSGSTkPCF14cApTffNi62PrTBQCfSUAD jyudaADDj3OCbQ2gui0BOSo= =aHrA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1769625.rPXp3BD3E6--
