No, but I did plan on adding support for upgrading from 2.2.x to 4.0. The way we buildworld now should automaticly help you over the aout-elf hurdle. It should be just a matter of adding the appropriate tools to the bootstrap-tools target. If you have the time, I hope you are willing to spend some time and effort to work on getting a 1-step upgrade working (or at least the buildworld part). Since I don't have a 2.2.8 machine, I can only do as much as support you... -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
