What is wrong with doing as some oports do when they natively detect ELF, namely: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 Sep 16 10:56 libICE.so@ -> libICE.so.6.3 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 Sep 16 10:56 libICE.so.6@ -> libICE.so.6.3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 79424 Sep 16 10:56 libICE.so.6.3* It worries me that if there is a rapidly-changing port somewhere which likes to bump its' minor version number, that before long we'll find ourselves using libfoo.so.28 for libfoo.so.1.27. Is there something I've missed about why the above cannot work? Kris > Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
