Hello,

I have some questions about port Elfiziation.

| (4) For aout libs, all minor numbers shall be zero.  That means many
|     ports (those with a non-zero minor) will have to have their major
|     number bumped by one.  There seem to be about 80 of them that
|     need to be fixed:
| 
| ## grep 'lib.*\.so\..*\..*' */*/pkg/PLIST > t 
| ## cat t | sed -e 's/:.*//' | uniq | wc
|      143     143    3622
| ## grep -v '\.0$' t | sed -e 's/:.*//' | uniq | wc
|       80      80    2019
|       ^^
|     (These are the ones that don't end with ".0".)
| 
|     All port Makefiles are edited to remove minor numbers from
|     LIB_DEPENDS, and also to have the regexp support removed.  (E.g.,
|     "foo\\.1\\.\\(33|40\\)" -> "foo.2".  They will be matched using
|     "grep -wF".
| 
| *snip snip* *ouch*

Does this mean that from now on the version number of such Elf shared
libraries will be always be higher by one?  For example, if the original
library version goes from 6.4 to 7.0 -- say it's X11R7 :-) -- then will
the FreeBSD Elf version be 8 since we are using 7 for 6.4?

Thanks,
Eugene
