And its version changed from 6 to 7 (but version 6 is also compiled/installed) Programs compiled with 3.3.6 work with 4.0 (at least the one I tested) For programs compiled on 4.0, they work too (excepted programs linked with Xaw, because they require version 7) > (2) Since you got rid of the shlib minors in PLIST, you can delete the > aout support in Makefile too. Well, I forgot to add the shlib minors in PLIST and we have the choice to reintroduce them or to remove the a.out support. My preference goes to the second possibility of course :-) > (3) It seems the contrib stuff have been moved back into the main > tarball, is that right?
