We've reproduced this locally - compat22 is > hosed. I *knew* this was going to bite us in the ass. I brought it up at E-day time... and was ignored. Some body please decide where bits should live. *IF* you upgrade from 2.2.x to 3.x, your /usr/lib a.out libs are moved to /usr/lib/aout, *AND* your /usr/lib/compat a.out libs are moved to /usr/lib/compat/aout. Fine. NOW if you look at the compat2{0,1} bits we shipped with 3.2, they install into /usr/lib/compat/. Thus we have no consistancy. So compat22 is no more broken than ``make aout-to-elf''. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
