* That way we have to worry about newly compiled ports being annoying to * use in 2.0.5R and maybe in 2.1. ld.so will print the confusing message: Well, "newly compiled ports" are only guaranteed to work with -current. :) Also, "annoying" users in this sense is GOOD, if they are running packages not from packages-2.0.5, they should be warned. * warning: libc.so.2.1: minor version < 2 expected; using it anway * * Perhaps ld.so meant to say "minor version < 2 UNexpected". I'd prefer * it to say something like "minor version >= 2 expected; using #1 anyway". If so, that's a bug in ld.so, and has to be fixed. * OTOH if you don't bump the minor every time it is technically required, * then newly compiled ports will mysteriously fail in 2.0.5R and maybe in * 2.1 if they actually use the new features. * * I prefer things to fail unmysteriously :-). So you agree with me, right, Bruce? :) Satoshi
