Sorry for asking a question here but I fear I won't get any response in
freebsd-questions ...

From=20time to time I give a course titled `Introduction into Program
Development in the UNIX Environment'. I was happy all the time with the
`ar' utility of FreeBSD not providing an `s' flag - so I could demonstrate
the difference between an object file archive and a random library (after
applying `ranlib'). A few days ago, first time with 3.1-R, I was very
surprised that the archive I created during the course as an example
immediately had a symbol table (`s' seems to be applied by default)! `Ar'
is now GNU `ar' - as far as I've seen.

No problem with that - in the future I will know. But: How can I best keep
track of such changes? Any suggestion?
