Hi, I'd like to give you a heads up that I intend to also remove PECOFF support from the stable/7 and stable/6 branches. PECOFF support is non-working and unmaintained in those FreeBSD releases and has lately still seen public security problems. PECOFF support is already gone in the upcoming 8.0 RELEASE or the 9-CURRENT development branch. Should no valid complaints come up saying that someone needs (and actively uses *cough* PECOFF support on FreeBSD it'll be removed earliest Novemeber 29th 2009 00:00 UTC (in about one week). /bz -- Bjoern A. Zeeb It will not break if you know what you are doing.
