It was introduced to help with the a.out->elf transition, reasoning being that elf shared objects don't really _require_ the complete versioning to be represented in the filename and they'd be easy to distinguis from a.out libs with x.y. However, the a.out days are past long enough now to seriously consider allowing elf shared objects to have more freefrom (and possibly more meaningful) names again (just like on that other OS). The main reason we're getting away with our funny naming for elf shared objects so easily in ports is that libtool deals with it for us. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBrEuVXhc68WspdLARAvWjAJ9IkSGSTkPCF14cApTffNi62PrTBQCfSUAD jyudaADDj3OCbQ2gui0BOSo= =aHrA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
