I surely hope it will end soon. I have a working upgrade procedure for aout->elf that handles the world and kernel, but ignores ports. Are people going to object if we ask for ports to be deleted and installed from scratch on the newly converted elf system? I can't see how I can possibly test building elf ports with an unknown number of aout ones hanging around. There are too many combinations. There are only a few issues remaining before that big switch can be thrown. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
