This should be the least suprise option. If /usr/sbin/named is a wrapper script, then we'd need something like /usr/libexec/named4 and /usr/libexec/named8, so we'd have *two* named's in the source tree. I don't like this ... although I like your way of being friendly to the users ;-) Generally I think people who run -current should read the lists carefully before doing make worlds and take care of changing their named environment. So I'd simply do the change if the others agree. But wait ... another good way to make migration easier without polluting /usr/src would be to make a bind4 port. Then people would easily be able to define this in /etc/rc.conf: named_enable="YES" named_prog="/usr/local/sbin/named4" Just my $0.02 ;-) Andreas /// -- Andreas Klemm http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/~andreas What gives you 90% more speed, for example in kernel compilation ? http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/~fsmp/SMP/akgraph-a/graph1.html powered by ,,symmetric multiprocessor FreeBSD'' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
