* Some body will have to soon. Don't forget 3.0 RELEASE is due out this * fall, and after Dec 98, 3.0 will be the "supported" platform for ports. Not so fast. It will be one of the supported platforms. We have yet to decide how long to support the 2.2 branch. (That probably depends on 3.0's reliability.) * > OTOH, I'm not sure if /usr/lib/aout will remain or if we will move to a * > complete ELF system. * * It will ALWAYS have to remain so we can have backwards compatability of * running 2.x binaries. That's not what the issue. When the Great ELF Switch is thrown and /usr/lib is populated, ports are going to use that instead of legacy libraries in /usr/lib/aout (which will no longer be updated by "make world"). Ports having to use stuff in /usr/lib/aout was supposed to be only a temorary measure, but unfortunately the vacuum has lingered so long people are now complaining. I surely hope it will end soon.
