I was looking at PR/9233 from Dec 1998 the other day, and I saw that the version of libgmp thats included in the base-system seems to be very outdated (version 2.x in our tree, while version 3.x is available at the homepage of libgmp). After discussing this with markm@freebsd.org about it through mail, I started looking through the sources to see where libgmp is used. It may be a false impression of mine, but in the -STABLE sources that I checked, I didn't seem to find anyone in the base-system `using' libgmp. I tried grepping through the entire /usr/src to find one place except for contrib/libgmp that seems to be using functions from libgmp (I was looking for functions that matched "\<mp[.]*_.*"). I dont seem to be able to find some part of the base system that actually *does* use libgmp. Being out of date as it is, do you think it's proper to remove it from the base system and make it a port? /me ducks to save his head from the flames -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
