Let's do it now. My understanding is | that 5.0 will be an "early adopter" release and production | systems should run 4.7{8,9,..} until 5.1 is released. | | To accomplish the change, I think we need to do: | 1. Install a complete set of 4.7 shared libs in COMPAT4X. | This should porivde the necessary runtime compatibility | with 4.x. | 2. Bump all shared library on 5.0. This will get rid of | any interdependencies among the libraries and it deals | with the version number problems I detailed in the thread | "Ghost of __sF ..." a couple a days ago. | 3. Put a big fat WARNING in src/UPDATING about the problem | 4. Put the same WARNING in /etc/motd, so people currently | run -current will know to update their ports. | 5. Broadcast the WARNING to appropriate mailing lists and | newsgroups. 6.
