I think it's fair to ask people to reinstall everything in /usr/local/lib. The part I was objecting was that they delete everything first. * Would ports (generally) continue to work if the upgrade procedure were to * do the move and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the new locations? We think we'll end * up with ELF_LD_LIBRARY_PATH that the elf loader will look at first. The stuff that are already on the system, I think most of them would still work. (Assuming LD_LIBRARY_PATH overrides -R...does it?) * If the move is automated, what do we have to do to be able to delete the * installed port? Do we need some sort of pkg_convert utility? Don't worry too much about that. People can blow away their /usr/local/lib/aout at their leisure. :) Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
