Well, I was thinking more along the lines of whilst it would be a port, the real work associated with it would be identifying those bits and pieces of userland that would need to go into such a port, which to my mind is more the remit of src/ people -- the actual mechanics of creating and packaging a compat5x are minimal compared to the content. >> I'd also imagine that at least the first cut of a misc/compat5x port >> would be based on libraries from 5.4-RELEASE as and when it happens. > > I agree that's a reasonable approach, but doesn't stop me from needing > it now. :) :) I fully understand -- given the impending 5.4-RELEASE though, we do seem to be in something of a fortuitous situation to create a good, solid misc/compat5x just after 5.4 is pushed out the door. -aDe
