lib/libtermcap Makefile
Log:
"un-bump" the major number for libtermcap.so. This brings -current back
to the same version numbers as 2.2.x.
The problem with the way things were was:
- if you took a 2.2.x binary, it either wouldn't run on -current or
if you had the old -current version of libtermcap.so.2.1 then it could
potentially be a security problem.
- the alternative is to start a compat22 tree dist for -current with a
uuencoded binary. This makefile hack is less cost.
libtermcap.so.3.0 is provided via /usr/lib/compat to avoid transition
problems.
