I am wondering if you can answer or show links of InterNet about: Why were many ports of FreeBSD listed as "BROKEN_ELF" before 3.0R was released? I know that the file type changed to ELF from a.out in FreeBSD-3.0R or -current. But there is no reason for many ports to become BREOKEN_ELF,for me. Because this change is only about file type, not like compiling or writing programs, I think. so, is there anything different between writing programs in ELF format and in a.out? Probabily ,almost all ports can already be executed under ELF format now, But I am so curious. Thanks H.Higuchi <hirohtio@msi.biglobe.ne.jp> PS. if other people asked such kind of thing, I am really sorry, But I couldn't find in search Web page <www.freebsd.org> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
