Testing this requires lots of big builds, and in my case, reinstalling 2.2.6 before each one to ensure that the procedure works from a system which doesn't know about elf tools. So far it is looking like a `make aout_to_elf' will be all that is required to make the switch. You can expect this to be available by about September 1st allowing 6 weeks before 3.0 is shipped. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
