* I'l supposed to find a procedure that will give people a smooth transition * to elf. Just throwing the switch and hoping for the best isn't good * enough. I have to at least try first. 8-) Sorry I wasn't clear enough. There are two issues here, one is to not break stuff that's already installed on the users' systems, and the others are ports that need to be fixed to correctly generate ELF shared libraries. For the former, we should hash it out before the switch is thrown, of course. (I think moving them to subdirectories is good enough.) For the latter, we need time before the release to fix them, and that's why I'm hoping the transition is soon. Remember, we need to support both a.out (2.2*) and ELF systems for quite a while, so our transition is not going to be very easy either. :< Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
