We do not bump the majors for addition of stuff, only incompatable changes. It makes no sense to have "libfoo.so.2 not found" when it would have worked fine. > > Assuming NO minor bump: > > ???

Again, I was talking about minor numbers for a.out. Cheers, -Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
