In this case it doesn't matter -- "a fresh hard drive" and "local package" implies that the -current packages on ftp.freebsd.org haven't been built since the bump and are thus slightly out dated. > I'll renew my annoyance with the fact that we just bumped this without > even figuring out why things broke or if we could change them in a way > to save functionality without having to bump the version number[1]. It doesn't matter as at least Garrett has some changes he's going to make that aren't compatible. libc.so will be at least at version "5" in FreeBSD 5.0, so we'll have to go thru this pain eventually anyway. > We also never propagated this bump to RELENG_4, so the release shipped > with the worst of both worlds.

I'm not quite sure what isn't together other than no compat4x libc.so.4 yet -- I can certainly create one, but I'll have to update it for the libc.so.4 in 4.3 and 4.4. Don't forget the compat libs are uuencoded files, so CVS will see large diffs. If people don't mind, I'll certainly make the compat libs now. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) GNU is Not Unix / Linux Is Not UniX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
