That's why the port is call linux-* instead of redhat-*. It's not RH emulation, it's Linux emulation. We also don't need 2 ports (or more for that matter), I just want to get a new version out in the open before I nuke the old one.

Fair enough. But don't come to me now with emulation specific comments, because these should have been discussed before. On -emulation that is. -- Marcel Moolenaar mailto:marcel@scc.nl SCC Internetworking & Databases http://www.scc.nl/ Amsterdam, The Netherlands tel: +31 20 4200655 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
