Can you remind me exactly what you proposed last time? OK. The proposal last time was something like: pub/XFree86/${OSNAME}[-${RELNAME}]/${VERSION}/XF86prog.tgz For the prog tarball (to use a convenient example). Thus, for FreeBSD 3.0 you might have: pub/XFree86/FreeBSD-3.0/3.3.3/XF86prog.tgz pub/XFree86/FreeBSD-3.0/3.3.3/XF86bin.tgz ... > But I was going to put them in a new "alib" tarball (or alternatively > they could be in the main "bin" tarball together with the ELF shared libs). Oh, there's another idea. OK, I agree, and I think it would be best to put them into the bin tarball for now until I've had the chance to make a new installation category for "alib" - I think it would best obey POLA at this time of transition. > Hmm, are you really planning to put them in /usr/X11R6/lib/compat rather > than /usr/X11R6/lib/aout? Erm, sorry. Brain-o. :) Yes, I meant /usr/X11R6/lib/aout - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
