Being elf > could be rilly kule (tm) but loosing some o' dem ports is a pain. A recipe in one line: Give ports people time to work through the issues. In more than one line: If you're one of those ports people, you'll have to try building the ports you maintain to find out what needs munging. Satoshi has asked for the elf switch to thrown sooner rather than later to give people as much time as possible to work on making ports elf aware. If you're discouraged by this, you don't need to convert to elf straight away, however you should be aware that as the ports are modified, elf will be the only supported format on 3.0-CURRENT and 3.0-RELEASE. If you want to keep using aout ports, you'll have to use 2.2.7 and 2.2.8 when it is released. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
