IIRC there’s a library in devel, poslib I think?, that existed only for posadis, but was preventing posadis from building. I think it needed syslimits.h anywhere in the public headers, and had some other weird failure. > > If those problems haven’t been fixed, is it worth deprecating poslib too? > posadis has essentially been abandoned for 10 years. The last activity on the SF source was about 6 weeks after the last release. There are other dns implementations that are still maintained, so yes, I think poslib should be deprecated. I didn't know it existed. John
