--NzB8fVQJ5HfG6fxh Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hi all, I've just finished syncing up our libedit to the version in NetBSD, which includes a number of bugfixes, but perhaps more interestingly it can function as a drop-in (apparently binary compatible) replacement for GNU libreadline (unfortunately it's not binary compatible with our present libedit). I've tested this so far with bc and gdb and it seems to indeed work as expected, though I've not yet done a full make world with the patches. I've tried not to spam any previous FreeBSD changes (which should probably be submitted back to NetBSD to keep us fully in sync), but I may have missed something and will check again later. I've CC'ed the FreeBSD people who have made most of the (few) changes to libedit on our side in case they have time to verify the diffs. Fetch the following file and unpack it in /usr/src; it will overwrite the contents of lib/libedit. You should also disable libreadline in gnu/lib/Makefile (and might want to remove /usr/include/readline/* to make sure it picks up the new versions). http://www.freebsd.org/~kris/libedit.tgz Comments welcome.
