| I agree with Dan. Let's do it now. My understanding is
| that 5.0 will be an "early adopter" release and production
| systems should run 4.7{8,9,..} until 5.1 is released.
|
| To accomplish the change, I think we need to do:
| 1. Install a complete set of 4.7 shared libs in COMPAT4X.
| This should porivde the necessary runtime compatibility
| with 4.x.
| 2. Bump all shared library on 5.0. This will get rid of
| any interdependencies among the libraries and it deals
| with the version number problems I detailed in the thread
| "Ghost of __sF ..." a couple a days ago.
| 3. Put a big fat WARNING in src/UPDATING about the problem
| 4. Put the same WARNING in /etc/motd, so people currently
| run -current will know to update their ports.
| 5. Broadcast the WARNING to appropriate mailing lists and
| newsgroups.
6. Assume Crash Position.
